They have (finally) given a name for Pop's cancer - it is High Grade Pleomorphic Sarcoma. He has had a chest x-ray, CAT Scan and MRI. The chest x-ray and the CAT Scan came back with nothing out of the ordinary. I'm not sure of the MRI results.

As of now - Pop will have 2 rounds of chemo and depending upon how the tumor responds to the chemo - that may be all that has to be done. There will likely be a third round of chemo - but he can likely do that closer to home. The doctor is very optimistic.
--
As of tonight- they had put the central line in and were planning to begin the chemo tonight. He sounded good and upbeat - so...
--
Given that we cannot change the fact that he has cancer - we are very thankful of the prognosis right now and are praying that the tumor responds to the chemo as they expect and that he will be home soon!
