My Dad

My dad is having his kidney removed today at 12:30 pm. Doctors found a mass bigger than a fist on it and think it is probably cancerous. A "pancreatic" surgeon will be present in case the mass has spread to the pancreas. Despite numerous tests, they could only see that the mass was close to the pancreas, but not whether it had spread.

He will be in the hospital for 5 days and recovering at home for 3 weeks (unfortunately, doing the surgery laparoscopically was not an option).

Please say a prayer for him!
