Dad's Health Update

Hi again kids,
Well I went to see my cancer Doctor, Dr. Zaman, yesterday to find out what's going on. First of all I like Dr. Zaman very much and I think he will call a spade a spade.
He looked at the Lab tests on the lump Dr. Brown removed and wasn't satisfied so he sent the " lump" out for further tests. At this point he's not sure if I have Lymphoma cancer or he believes it may be lung cancer. He will get the lab tests back at the end of this week and I will see him again next Wed., 3/31, at 11:45 AM.
In the meantime I will be taking a PET scan on Friday to give Dr. Zaman more info. The CT scan shows cancer on the right side of my chest only and the Bone scan showed no signs of cancer at all.
Some of you asked how I feel. I am no Hero and I am scared to death.
Love you all, Dad

Dad's First Health Update

Hi Kids,
Just want to give you an update on my health.
I was operated on this morning to remove a lump on the right side of my chest. The result of the operation showed that the lump was cancerous. They do not know what type of cancer it is until they get the results back from the lab which will probably be some time next week.
In the meantime I will be starting tests tomorrow. I will be going in for a ct scan tomorrow morning from my head to my feet to see if there are any signs of cancer any where else in my body. They will also do a bone scan to check for bone cancer. I will see a cancer Doctor next week to find out the results of these tests.
In the meantime all I can do is hope for the best. I'm sure everything will work out OK.
Love you, Dad
