    When i got diagnosed in oct 23’, i also had an external tumor (that i named Igor.. all the techs knew his name lol). i had the regular treatment for this cancer although radiation levels were a bit higher since i had Igor. i’ve been in remission for 20 months now.

    depending on what stage your dad is, will determine the strength of his treatment. i wish him well
