Not What They Thought...

The doctors opened dad up this morning about 8:45. They didn't have to do the extensive surgery--removing part of a lot of major organs! Mom praises God for the fact that they didn't have to remove all those parts of major organs. But they took a biopsy of the lymph nodes and sent them away for testing. The results of that won't be known for a week.

The doctor believes what dad has is Lymphoma. It is some sort of cancer of the lymph nodes, we think. They want to start Chemotheropy as soon as dad recovers from surgery to get rid of the tumor. He's going to be in the hospital for quite a while.

We appreciate your prayers and support as the process continues. Pray that the cancer hasn't spread far!!
