Ok, I'm back begging prayers again.
When Lukas was diagnosed, they removed one testicle and found that the cancer had metastasized to a lymph node in his abdomen.
Below is a post from his mom, Deanna (our daughter) who is an RN. She explains it better than I can.
I've had several people ask me questions about Lukas recently, so I figured I'd post an update (with his permission). Lukas had a scan on 11/13 to check the lymph node that had showed evidence of metastasis previously. Unfortunately, the results of that scan were not what we'd hoped. The lymph node has actually gotten significantly larger. Lukas' primary tumor was a mixed type (this is common) of tumor that had three types of cancer cells in it. One type (the teratoma) is not susceptible to chemo, and unfortunately, that's the type they feel has moved. The plan is to go to Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC next week for a pre-op appointment, and then again on 12/18 for removal. This is pretty major surgery, and he's expected to be inpatient for a week, and he'll need some recovery time after. We appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, and good wishes, but from a practical standpoint, we seem to have it all managed. Right now, we just need some time to plan and process. Thank you all for the support.

An update on Lukas.
Lukas had surgery last Wednesday, December 18 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. His incision was from the bottom of his sternum to the groin, going around the navel. My wife, who has been an RN for 40 years and daughter (Lukas' mother) who has been an RN for 20 years, both agree that they had never seen a longer incision.
They removed a tumor, tentatively identified as a teratoma (still waiting for pathology). If they are right and the tumor is a teratoma, his cancer treatment will be done, and his prognosis is for a complete recovery.
After all this rambling, Lukas called us about 4 PM to say they had discharged him, and he was on his way home! This has to be our best Christmas gift ever.
