On Thursday, 4/22/10, we found out my dad's cancer came back. The cancerous growths were found near one of his kidneys, and were causing his kidney to have to work extra hard. To even consider beginning chemo again, the kidneys need to both be fully functioning, so tomorrow he'll go in for a procedure to put a stent in at about 5:30pm and hopefully help ease the extra work his kidney has been doing.
After that will come a PET scan, which will help determine whether or not the 6 nodules seen in his lungs are cancerous, or other types of growths. The PET scan date is still TBD. Based on the results of the PET scan, my dad's chemo treatments will begin shortly thereafter.
