Bill's Surgery

Bill was diagnosed with colon cancer on July 27 and is scheduled for surgery on August 7th.

The Cather Family has received overwhelming support from friends and family and this blog has been set up to update everyone on what is going on and how well he is doing.

The news from the doctors has been increasingly optimistic. The surgery is now expected to be performed using the robotic operating room at UAB and the outlook for recovery from the operation looks like it could be as little as a couple of weeks.

Mia is doing well, healthy and ready for the challenge of having Bill at home for a while.

Anna is putting together a schedule for some meals at the house after Bill gets home (probably around August 11).

Cather Publishing is humming right along, just like it has for 100 years, and Robbie is spending some time at the shop in Bill's absence.

Heath is recovering from hip surgery, making sure that the Essex Road house is in good order.

Check back for info on Friday afternoon.

Thank you!
