Well mom just called, and they finally have a surgery date Scheduled! He goes in for surgery on October 26! The plan is, to go in, and try to remove just the tumor, but If the tumor cannot be removed safely, they will then send in another surgeon, and remove his whole kidney. The problem with removing the Kidney, is that he will then be placed on Dialysis, which the doctors do not want, as he is on Blood thinners for his heart problems. I am very concerned for my Step-dad. especially since last week they stopped by for dinner, and he pretty much told all of us, he dosent expect to make it out of Surgery! Please pray for him, if you can!
