Anyone feel free to add to this.....<br /><br />In July of last year my dad was found to have cancer. Originally they thought it was just a cyst....the cyst got bigger until eventually he had a walnut sized tumor in his neck. That was removed. He had a PET scan which showed he had active cancer cells in his throat and behind his tonsils. He recieved 7 1/2 weeks of radiation therapy.....which was incredibly rough on him and the family. He has lost nearly 50lbs and still hasnt been able to eat bread since his saliva glands still arent functional. The reason for the prayer request is that he is going back in to get another PET scan to see if they were able to kill all the active cancer cells.
