Just got home and spoke with my mother. The surgery went well and went threw his armpit and removed one of the suspicious lymph nodes and now we just have to await the biopsy results. He had been feeling very poorly that morning but was better after the surgery. Hopefully I'll be able to get up there within the next few days.

I would also like to thank my friends who contacted me. It meant a lot to me to know that you cared. Hopefully the next update will have even better news.
