hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of your dad?

as you said to diagnose the cancer of the lymph node it is still not sure. and until we know what cells are involved the progression of the disease cannot be predicted. You should keep faith in the physician as I think he is trying to take all the possible measures to come to a conclusion and make the best treatment possible. also , if you get all test done in a week them the physician can start to plan the treatment.

till then I don't think you should get tense now. Need all positive thinking and all positive surrounding.

with the grace of God I wish your dad a good health
