It's not cancer!
My father (finally) had his procedure done on his lung, after much battling with medicare. The surgeon just called me to tell me there is NO evidence of malignancy OR infection, and he believes that it is simply a residual effect from my father's bypass surgery, exacerbated by his dialysis.
The only complication is the fluid buildup caused some kind of "skin" to form around his left lung, which is compressing his lung and is why he feels so much shortness of breath. The peeled the skin away as best they could but couldn't get it all so he will never feel 100% better, but he will probably feel an 85% improvement.
I am just beyond elated, and I feel like the weight of the world has lifted off of my shoulders. And what's more, my brother in Philly has SERIOUSLY stepped up to the plate in recent weeks. He woke up at 4am today to drive downtown, pick up my Dad to take him to, and accompany him at the hospital.
