        Thanks for your thoughtful reply, KK.  This is indeed a confusing and difficult time.  It's tough to make these decisions in such a short period of time with with limited information.  I appreciate your advice about standing behind our decisions.  I want my dad to be able to feel confident in his choices.  His family will back him no matter what.  I guess we're feeling a time crunch pressure.  He's scheduled for lymph node dissection surgery next Wednesday (one week) so a second opinion may be difficult to come by without halting the entire process.  You've given us some things to consider.  Thanks again.
