Thank you for getting back to me! It turns out that they want to operate on him on Monday morning to remove the lump. They said that at the rate its growing it's not a good sign and could possibly be cancer but they won't know until they've removed it and checked it over. So fingers crossed it all goes well on Monday 🤞🏼
