I just got off the phone with my mom and it sounds like everything is going to turn out okay.
The doctor doesn't think the cancer has spread from his kidney (he's got three tumors right now). He's had complete renal failure in that kidney already, but the other one has already picked up the slack and is functioning just fine, so he shouldn't need a transplant (though two of my uncles have already offered) or have to worry about totally losing function all together.
He goes in for surgery on November 1st and they'll simply remove the kidney all together. I must say I wish it was sooner than that, but it's not like two weeks is a really long time.
So, I'm feeling much better today. My brother, my mom, and my dad all sound pretty good too, so that makes me happy. It sucks that I'm so far away in Philadelphia, but I think we're fine.
Please continue to keep my family in your thoughts. The next few months are going to be hard on all of us, no matter what.

The good news is that I'm having an absolutely wonderful time staying with Mac and Mr. Fish. We've gone to haunted prisons, carved pumpkins, had sushi at Morimoto, and visited both Body Worlds and the aquarium in Jersey. Plus we've still got the trip to New York on Friday to look forward to.
The bad news is that today my dad found out he has cancer. It's on one of his kidneys and he sees the specialist tomorrow, so I don't know anything beyond that right now. Of course, though, I'm terribly scared and very sad and I'm hoping very hard that it hasn't spread and all will be well.
So, if you could keep me and my family in your thoughts I would really appreciate it.
