Then he looked at the doctor's head and said, "Neither can you!"


Tuesday the doc will remove a large lymph node from Dad's armpit for biopsy. Dad says it feels like there's a mouse in there.

Thursday we'll visit with the cancer specialist and find out info and options.

Treatments have come a long way in the last several years, Twink. I'm praying that your Dad can receive one of the least invasive ones available and do well on it.
