William E. Harrer

On October 21st, 2012, our father, William Harrer, lost his battle with lymphoma. Through the last years of his life, we (his five kids) blogged about what was happening. It tells a story of how one family dealt with the end of their father's life. We thought if it can help a family with similar struggles, he would very much want that, and so we are making our blog public. You can read Dad's obit on the page "Dad's Life in a Nutshell" and see for yourself what an amazing life he had.

March 22, 2011 Update

Tom just called. Everything went well and Dad is in the recovery room. The doctor removed two lymph nodes from Dad’s abdomen. He can not drive for a week. He can not play tennis for three weeks. They want him to stay with Tom for a couple of days to recover. We have a follow-up with the cancer specialist on Tuesday the 29^th and another with the surgeon just to make sure this surgery is healing properly.

I think that was all for now…

March 21, 2011 Update

Dad goes to Memorial hospital tomorrow at 9:30 am for a lymph node biopsy. We are told this is a minor, out-patient procedure that will get us a definitive result on the condition of Dad’s lymph nodes. Tom will take Dad in and get him back home. I will update everyone via email as soon as Dad is back at home safely.

Love to all,

John
