So, while the colon cancer thing came back negative, they wanted to do a CT scan since he was still having health problems. Then they wanted to do a biopsy, and now we know for sure that it is cancer. Just a different kind. Lymphoma.

They want him to start chemotherapy right away.

I'm trying to remain optimistic about his chances of surviving, but obviously chemotherapy is really hard too. Even of he does survive, this is going to be a difficult time.

Good news!

Dad did a take home screening for colon cancer a while ago and got a positive, but since take home tests can have false positives we had to wait in suspense for a while for more solid results. It turns out he's cancer free!

This is obviously fantastic news, but he is still experiencing some pain and digestive issues, so we still have to figure out what's wrong. At least it isn't cancer though.
