All I can say is that all my CAD brothers and sisters must have been doing some mighty heavy duty praying! We just got back from the doctor's office in Fort Smith and Dad's oncologist says the mass is the size of a golf ball and she believes they can use radiation therapy on it instead of chemo and radiation. She said in her opinion it is shrinkable and it can be kept under control by zapping it with radiation. THIS IS AWESOME NEWS!!
She explained it all to Mom and Dad and me (and I couldn't take my eyes off of her because she's about 40, tall, stacked, and a FINE LOOKIN' oncologist). So instead of having to dread chemo Dad will undergo radiation treatments five days a week for about six weeks and then they'll take more pictures of the mass. So thanks guys for the words of encouragement and prayers. They are very much appreciated. I love every one of you!! 8) 8)
