Prayer Request for my Dad
Posted on 06/24/2008 6:58:29 AM PDT by al_c
Last month, my dad was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer). The tumor was about the size of a golf ball. Last week, he found out that it was the papillary type (10-15% of kidney cancer) and that it had spread a bit into his lungs and a rib. They called them "flakes" so I guess it's not as bad as it could be. But still ... this is not what we were hoping for. Apparently, this type is harder to treat than the more common type (clear cell).
He has begun chemo treatments to clear the lungs and rib. After 4 weeks, M. D. Anderson will take another look and decide what to do next.
Please pray for healing and that he'll put those darn cigarettes away permanently.
