Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well guys, I post with a heavy heart today. It's getting close to 4 years since "Black Betty" was last on the road. Sadly we may have hit another big setback. My dad was having some back & stomach pains & ended up having tests run at the hospital earlier this week. He just got results back yesterday, & he has kidney cancer. It looks to be mostly confined in the right kidney, with a tumor just below. We won't know much more until he sees the cancer specialist early next month. Just trying to be positive & hope for the best outcome possible. Please keep him in your thoughts & prayers. Thankfully, "Black Betty" is safely resting where she sits. We'll get back to her one of these days. Until then, any of you '88-98 fullsize Chevy/GMC guys can keep up with my Tahoe tinkering here:

Praying for your Dad through these tough times. My Dad had kidney cancer about eight years ago and at eighty-five now, comes and goes as always. wishing the very best for your Dad. Let me know if you need anything.

Thanks Clem. You're right about doctors today & advancements in medicine as well. Hoping they can successfully work their magic on him.
