After 3 negative Covid tests, one positive influenza A test, and weeks of extreme shortness of breath, Dad went to urgent care on February 13th. They sent him to the ER with suspected pneumonia. While in the ER, a large mass on his right lung was discovered. He was transported to St. Luke's on the Plaza the evening of February 13th.  (He's in room N415.) At least 2 doctors have confirmed it is likely cancerous. On February 18th, he was diagnosed with a high grade neuroendocrine tumor in his right lung. Chemotherapy begins in-patient on February 19th at St. Luke's on the Plaza in Kansas City, MO.
