Quick update than test I stole from Kat, Rhiannon, and Ray Well I have been back in Carbondale a few days and things are going well. My dad is back in Centralia and he has started radiation treatments. He had been having chest pains the week before and went to the cardiologist and got tests done. They said he had fifty percent blockage in two of his arteries and he just need to take pills for it. Well , I think it was Tuesday, he woke up and had severe pain in his chest and went to the ER. They pretty much scanned him and sent him straight to Barnes in St. Louis. They found out that his Cancer, he has lung cancer, had come back. He has had it for awhile, since Christmas but went through chemotherapy and they said all that was left was thirty percent and decided to stop there. Well some of it grew back and grew around one of his arteries and putting pressure on it. So the doctors got his pain under control, with morphine and talked for a few days, keeping an eye on him, doing more tests, and talking, and decided to ship him home on July third, so he could go to Centralia, speak to his doctor and a radiologist. They all agreed that radiation would be the way to go, for the next five weeks, with the stipulation of the possibility of two more weeks after that and possible chemotherapy. The doctors were all really scared because if the tumor grows much bigger, it could rupture the artery and my dad will bleed to death. But so far so good. My dad is pain free due to the pills he is on, and going through radiation treatments that will hopefully shrink the tumor. So, so far, so good. I am optimistic about his treatments but worried, but of course, who wouldn't be. But, I am back in Carbondale, back to work, and trying to relax when I can and trying to help Kiersten plan our wedding. So before I post the test I stole, I just want to thank my friends who posted comments on my hurried post. It meant a lot to me.
