My father in law, (also named Tom Cameron), was just diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. He is a wonderful man....sweet, compassionate, hard working, forgiving, generous....loves his grandkids. He is going in tomorrow morning for a very dangerous and difficult surgery. They are going to remove a large tumor that has grown on and around one of his kidneys and is wrapped around the renal artery. We are blessed to live in the Seatle area...UW Medical Center, Fred Hutchinson, and Cancer Alliance are all the best in the nation...
We know he is in the best hands...please help pray that everything goes smoothly...
We know that prayer is very powerful. It has and continues to help our family with struggles we are faced with.....

My father in law was in surgery for 5 hours today....the doc said the cancer is extremely agressive and has grown even since the scans they did a few weeks ago. He feels like he was able to remove all the tumor and cancer cells surrounding the kidney and wrapped around the renal artery. The tumor had gotten so large, it was restricting the artery and caused his blood count to go down. He will be in the hospital for about a week...in 6 weeks he can start taking the new medication that will hopefully get rid of the cancer that has spread to his lungs. He is a very healthy otherwise...this is definitely to his advantage. We will just have to keep praying for a smooth 6 weeks....
