My dad is in the hospital right now with an attack of acute pancreatitis. The doctor did a CT scan to look for the cause, and he found two masses, one on his kidney and one on his adrenal gland. They won't do a workup or a biopsy until he feels better from the pancreatitis, plus he also has the beginnings of pneumonia right now.
I guess my question is, I've heard that renal cancer starts at the kidney, and by stage 3 can move to the adrenal gland. Is this true? So the fact that they found masses on those two areas scares me to death. I'm pregnant with my third child, and I can't stand the thought of my dad not being there to see all three of them grow up. He's only 59. Not to mention that he's my best friend. The one I always turn to when I need help and guidance, the one who loves me no matter what.
I'm sorry to dump all this on you ladies when I don't even know if it IS cancer at all...I'm just so scared now, and I never thought that this could happen to my dad. I've never had to deal with this kind of thing before, and I don't know what to think. Any info/advice/support anyone could give me would be appreciated.
Thanks so much for listening.
