Thanks so much for your advice, thoughts and prayers. My brother and I are doing all of the research we can before we meet with the surgeon for a consultation tomorrow. The good news is that we are also attending a oncology forum tomorrow where they will be presenting my dad's case to a group of oncologists for multiple opinions/recommendations.
I definitely agree that the most difficult part of this entire process seems to be getting it started. We just hope we can get started before it gets any worse. But we are hopeful that with prayer, support and positive attitude, we will get through all of this!!!
