Tough News

Postby The Duck Hammer » Thu May 09, 2013 2:31 pm

Found out today that my dad has kidney cancer. They told him that it was highly aggressive but is contained within his kidney.

That is tough news, but sounds like there is a silver lining with it being contained in only one.

Stay strong and help him put up the good fight! Sometimes support and encouragement are the best medicine!

I think this is where something clever about tapatalk should go.

Wow. That'll bring a fellow up short, but it sounds like he's blessed they caught it when they did.

Prayers your way, one for your ole man and one to have god smack you with the epiphany of how great bow mags are ;)

He is 48 and it is only in the right kidney.

Dad went to the doctor on Wednesday and we found some more out. The mass is half the size of his kidney and is bulging it out. Doctor said that it didn't look good but he has referred him to the best endoscopic kidney surgeon in the US, so that's a plus. Unfortunately it will be over a month before he can see the surgeon right now, so we are trying to speed things up.
