Well he has to have his lung biopsied, but can't go thru his nose or throat because of where the "lump, mass" is, behind the ribcage. Has to go thru the Chest cavity to just go in an remove the whole thing at one time. Waiting on apts for ultrasound(I have to check if its and echocardiogram), stress test and a pulminary test and after those are done back to Doc same day. Guess we wait for date of surgery, he doesn't want to wait doc said so it won't grow and Ron won't "fall thru the cracks" cuz they have it all in motion right now. It's in his right lung and its down at the bottom and he said its not solid, Ron drew a picture and it looked like a donut with a hole and doc said it has "air in it"? Does anybody know what this means?
