O-H-I-O!
Well my dad has a catscan at 6pm. I talked to my sister(she's 11 years older than me so she gets all the info)and now she said my mom says it may be esophogeal cancer and dad says it may be throat cancer. I guess the doctor was really upset and said that he doesn't know what else it could be.

Of course my sister says she googled esopogeal cancer and the survival rate is not good -16%. My friend's dad died from it. Throat cancer survival rate is much better. I refuse to find out any of this on my own because I just get upset.

His biopsy is scheduled for Tuesday June 2(the day after my parents 35th wedding anniversary) but I don't know what time. I will let you guys know what I find out about the catscan tonight....

Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts. I really means a lot at this time

He had his scan scan last night and there wasn't much they could tell us. He has to get clearance from his cardiologist for the surgery on Tuesday. He also has a pacemaker and 18 stents so they need to be safe.

Will keep you guys updated


Thank you all again

Update:

Dad's biopsy was today and it took about an hour. The doctor said that he would be very surprised if it was cancer. He said cancerous tumors are hard and this was soft. He doesn't know what it is yet but is very positive it is not cancer.
We will get the results back Thursday.

I went to see him today and he slept the whole time of course. The doctor said it's like getting your tonsils out but times 10 because it was right at the top of his esophogus.

I just want to thank you all again for your amazing prayers, thoughts and vibes
You all are the best

Oh that is FABULOUS news! I mean that it's not cancer - not that it's really painful!

that he recovers quickly and as Pam pointed out - that the news continues to be good news!
