Oh, $#!+!!!

Just talked to Dad...

He had surgery, today, to put a tube into his chest, so they could get the chemo directly to the tumor.

And, for the first time, heard some stats on the same.

• The tumor is in a position near the larynx that makes it inoperable.


• The tumor has both non-small cell and small cell cancer types.


• They will therefore use both radiation and chemo to treat it.


• The tumor is 12 cm. o_O (eep)


• Chemo will start tomorrow.

Also talked to my cousin, Toni, who is at the house for a few days, looking after the cat for a bit.

We're both in shock.
