Answer
I'm sorry to read about his & your problem! Well his prognosis depends on many things I do not know yet, tumor size, exact location, pathology and stage. Without knowing these facts I have no basis for any opinion. If you can, please let me have that information ASAP, and I will be more able to give you an evaluation! So please do keep me posted!
