Ok- I've been in touch with gramps via email.
Update as of today:
Gramps has seen three doctors. His primary care doctor really took the wind out of sails and gramps opted to see a specialist (and rightfully so imo)
Gramps opted to hold off on medical treatments until he had time to review his options. The specialist is confident that if the cancer has not spread that he can rid gramps of the cancer. Hopefully by the end of the week gramps and his doctors will have a game plan to get him back healthy and posting on volnation again.
I ask you all to continue praying for gramps and his family.
Also, gramps also thinks this thread shouldn't be a sticky. I disagree.
