I am glad to hear your BIL I getting operated on and of the possibility that it is only in 1 liver lobe. That is a very good sign
AND that the lung may be valley fever - although not a good thing especially in his weakened state but at least it is treatable (one of my best GF's from Tempe had it last year)
Unfortunately for us the lesion in DBF's liver is on both lobes
But we will know much more next week.
Sending prayers out for your BIL and the surgeons on Friday.
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
