I'm not sure. He had a bad cold at Christmas. I'm not sure if it was already pneumonia then or developed later.

Watch out for that pneumonia. That's what took my mother ...

Cicero · 01-24-2010, 01:06 PM

Crap. I concur. Sorry Pete.

Total bummer. Definitely worry about the pneumonia now and get him 100% or as close as poss before you attack the cancer.

How are things Pete?

Pete Zicato · 02-15-2010, 09:32 AM

Pop had an xray on Friday and his lungs are clear. He goes in for a stress test this week. If he can handle that, the surgery will be on the 25th.

I hope everything works out ok.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

limey · 02-15-2010, 10:14 AM

Fingers crossed here for you, too, Pete!

classicman · 02-15-2010, 01:25 PM

Well wished and/or prayers for pop . . . whichever you/he prefers.

They want to use two surgeons to get him through surgery faster, so they've postponed surgery to Mar 11th. He seems to be in good spirits, so that's good.

classicman · 02-23-2010, 10:47 AM

Good luck with everything.

Pete Zicato · 03-15-2010, 08:48 AM

Dad had his surgery on Thursday. The doctors did not find cancer anywhere else, and he's recovering as well as you could expect for an 83 year old. He was still on pain meds over the weekend so he would drift off while we were talking, but they already have him eating and standing for a little bit.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

Shawnee123 · 03-15-2010, 08:52 AM

Awesome they found no cancer. Fuck cancer!

Glad he is doing well.

Pie · 03-15-2010, 08:52 AM

Whew! Glad for a bit of good news. Best wishes to Papa Pete for a speedy recovery.
