Update On My Dad

I posted the other day about my dad. We went to see a cardio-thoracic surgeon yesterday. The news wasn't great. He said because of the large size of the mass on his lung, he presumes it to be a malignancy (we will know for sure after a few more tests). And, it's located in a spot right against his main bronchial tube - which means that it is probably inoperable. The next step is doing an MRI and PET scan to see if it has spread anywhere else in his body. Then, on Monday, he is being admitted to the hospital to undergo a biopsy (to determine what type of cancer) and port placement (which will be used to administer chemo). He will probably also require radiation treatments. Please think of us in your prayers. I will keep you posted.
