Sorry for the uplifting Friday off topic post. Unfortunately cancer related posts arent too uncommon here. Everyone always has great input though so thought I'd put it out there.
My Dad found out he has kidney cancer yesterday. He lives in FL between Tampa and Sarasota and plans to be treated at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. Don't have a ton of info yet, but they believe it to be large enough that the kidney will need to come out. Still waiting on detailed biopsy results which we won't get for 9 days, and then will talk to the specialist at Moffitt after that which isn't scheduled yet. Blood results otherwise look good so no indication yet that it has spread, but don't know for sure yet, hopefully it's all in the kidney.
Anyway, don't have any direct questions really yet and a lot is unknown on the exact diagnosis, but thought i'd throw it out there if anyone had feedback on Moffitt (the doctor he should be getting is Mayer Fishman), or things to know ahead of time.
