In a few hours, my father will undergo a bronchoscopy. The doctors will examine the 3" long mass (tumor) near his trachea and perform a biopsy to determine whether it is lymphoma, relatively treatable, or a different, more dangerous type of cancer. The entire procedure will take 4.5 hours. Then we just have to wait ten to twelve days for the results.

I’ll write a follow–up post after the operation.
