Thanks for all the well-wishes and encouragement. My dad's operation went smoothly last week and at the moment, the doctors are still performing tests on the cells. In any case, he seems to be ok and the doctors are optimistic. Still staying in hospital for observation though, for a couple days more... think they will release him once he is able to take food by mouth. Now he's still relying on a drip as he threw up on Tuesday after taking some gruel...the doctors say his intestinal passage is clogged and needs to be cleared before they try mouth feeds again.
In the meantime, he has to wear a stoma pack for bodily discharges and the doctors say it could be for a period of 2 to 4 months before it's removed. Spiritually it can be quite depressing and he does get lonely on occasions while lying in bed in hospital. Fortunately, friends and relatives have been kind and the frequent visits lifted his spirits somewhat...
Now I just hope that all goes well and he recovers soon....

I'm glad to hear that it has all been well. Don't worry too much. He'll recover in no time.
A suggestion:
Maybe can get him some newspapers and perhaps a portable DVD player if you have one so he can watch the DVDs that he wants to?
glad to hear your dad has a smooth operation. hope he will recover fully soon.
