Renal Cell Carcinoma

Today, it was confirmed that the primary site of cancer is in Jack's kidney. The scan he had this morning indicates that he has a 4-5 cm sized mass in his left kidney. Thankfully, all other organs are clear.
On Tuesday he will meet with the oncologist to develop a plan of action. At this point we do not know if they will remove his entire kidney or if they will be able to do a partial removal. He will also have an appointment with a radiation oncologist in the next few days, as treatment to the tumor in the skull will be simultaneous to whatever course of action is determined for the kidney.
We will be learning more than we ever wanted to know about kidney cancer in the upcoming days, but my family stands ready to fight this. For now, he is feeling ok and is going to try and be out there on the golf course this Saturday!
We are devoted to my beloved Dad and we thank you for the notes of encouragement and prayers being offered on his behalf. We have all felt the outpouring of love for our family and its been amazing.
