I just wanted to drop by and give an update on my dad. A few weeks ago, he started coughing up blood again. The mass in his lung had started to bleed. After several tests, it was decided that his lung needed to be removed. We found out that the mass was cancer and that some cancer cells were found in a lymph node and in some fluid in the lung cavity. We've been told that without chemo that he probably only has 3 to 4 months to live. With chemo, he may have two years if the cancer responds to the chemo. Right now, we are just focusing on recovery. Hopefully, it will only take about a month for the body to adjust to just having one lung and for the pain to subside. If Dad decides to do chemo, he will start in the middle of December. If all goes as planned, he will get to come home from the hospital today.
I hope that everyone is doing well, and I hope to be around posting more in the future. Take care, everyone.
