My dad found he has a 5cm lump in his kidney, meaning he'll have to have surgery to have it removed. With luck, it'll be local and he'll be fine. If not, chemo and radiation are generally useless. On the plus side, it explains why he's been having so many problems related to his blood sugar and mood swings.
He's getting a scan (SPECT?) monday, they'll know more after that.
I just finished reading "the emperor of all maladies", a biography of cancer. It was a tough read, though very well written and really engaging. I wish it wasn't so pertinent.
