My thoughts are with you Kadagar.

My father was confronted with a cancer situation some 4 years ago...luckily he had regular check ups (it is a problem that runs in the family) and so it was caught at the beginning and surgery was able to solve the problem....my grandfather was not so lucky and died from it some years ago so I know the toll something like this can take on a family.

I hope the situation evolves in the best way possible.
