I may be moving out of state. What's going on, is my father just had surgery last week to remove a brain tumor, and we got the results of the tumor back, and the cancer is in the last stage. It's called non-small cell cancer. It's not cureable, but it is controlable. My father doesn't want to die here in Florida, he doesn't like it here, and he never has, so my sister and I thinking of moving him up to Alabama, where most of his family is. I'll try to get into details a little bit later, these are the only things we have really discussed on about the situation.

Thank-you. He's doing much better now. He's remembering more, talking better, his whole appearance has basically changed since he had his surgery. If he's up to it, he wants me to take him to the Tampa Reptile expo. This whole thing came on so suddenly. My father was doing fine three weeks ago, driving around, doing normal everyday stuff, then he started to get forgetful. He'd call me at work asking where stuff like the salt shaker, and the car keys are, then he'd forget he was on the phone. I really thought at first that he had a stroke, he had all the symptoms of one. But they did a CT scan, and found the mass in the back of his head. Right now, the main thing is getting his radiation done. He's got nine treatments left, and so far, his first three have gone fine.
