He sure has been thru alot in such a short time with first the pain, then falling and breaking his hip and finally the most serious, the cancer diagnosis. From what Ive heard, Vanderbilt is an excellent cancer center so he is being treated at a very good place.
Please keep us posted. Best wishes with everything you both are going thru and facing.
