Status/Update on my Dad's cancer condition

[FSX68]

Well,
for those of you that may be curious about the outcome of my Dad's Pre-op this is what I was told today:

The Doctors say my Dad has a very rare/unusual type of cancer. Eventually, if undiagnosed, it would of broke through the skin of his leg.
The cancer did spread to his lungs. He will undergo surgery tomorrow AM (early) They will have to make incision from his hip to his knee.
After that, he will be recouping in hospital for 5 days. He will have 2 months of therapy after that. The cancer that did migrate to his lungs
they can treat. (I don't know how, but today's medicine really amazes me).

So, I guess I will go down to visit him in a week or so (he most likely will be hunkered down in bed most of the time when I get there.
So the Doc's put a priority on treatment for him, the surgery to remove the tumor then deal with the cancer in his lungs. I was told it was
small amounts but I would think that they would have to try to deal with it ASAP to keep it from growing an further.

Sorry the news wasn't better regarding the spread of the cancer but just keep a positive attitude and keep your Dad's morale up. I know it's a lot of baggage to carry.

Well the Doctors must think that this is a positive sign, or the wouldn't operate, so that's good.
