Hey guys. SO, I have received some not-great news! My dad went in for surgery today on his right upper lung. He had a spot on it. They thought it was not cancerous in the previous test. WELL, it turns out that they went in like they planned. Came out like they didn't.
He was suppose to go in threw the ribs and take out the tumor (?) or whatever it was. The surgeon and pathologist were looking at it when they opened him up. The pathologist thought it looked cancerous so they took out the entire upper right lobe. They should know by Friday if it truly is cancerous. So, we do not yet know for sure. They did say that it did not spread anywhere outside of the upper lobe. They are positive that they caught it in time. I will be updating this more as soon as I know more.
As of right now, he is awake and on a morphine drip and, of course, asking for sweet tea! They did not sound too worried. But, of course, they are and have not yet let it out themselves. I hope they are really coping okay and are able to handle what comes next.
Love you guys!
