Here is the latest on Dad. Elaine picked up the lab results on Monday, and it seems he doesn't have Mesothelioma, but has something called Non Small Cell Carcinoma. At this point we don't think it changes too much. Dad is having a PET scan on Thursday that will identify where the cancer is in his body (has it spread to his liver, bone marrow, lymph nodes etc), and - we think - what stage he is in. The stage that he is in determines the treatment (at least that's what our research says). He is still meeting with the oncologist on Wednesday August 12th, at which point we hope we will learn more about what to expect. The doctors have all been impressed with his health (aside from the cancer) and say it will help with his struggle.
Please continue to pray for Dad, and I ask for your prayers for our family as well.
