It sounds like Dad's surgery went as well as can be expected. To the surprise of his doc, the cancer turned out to be lung cancer and not metastatic colon cancer. And the spot on the other lung looks like the same thing - that will come out after he recovers from this operation. From talking to my sister and my mom, it sounds like he's doing much better than his previous cancer surgery. I suppose that makes sense - last time he was ill from the cancer, and he had chemo prior to the surgery. This time he didn't have any symptoms at all and the problem was found during his annual CAT scan.
 | Dad in one of his crazy get-ups at Thanksgiving - I think the pants he was wearing were at least 25 or 30 years old! And from what my sister said, he appears to be doing something similar at the hospital. Apparently he found a strange green hat to top off his hospital gown outfit and was standing at the entrance to the floor greeting other patients! |
