your dad is fortunate because he doesnt have pain yet. Tiny nodules in visceral organs do not cause pain. Only when they irritate pain sensitive regions, pain occurs. If your dads cancer is biopsy proven, he has cancer undoubtedly. But he will not remain in the same condition once the disease progresses. Let him be happy till then
