Bingo. It is a very good thing they caught it now.
My Dad went through the same shortness of breath thing. Ignored it and ended up with a heart attack. He was/is a heathy stud. Triple bypass. Still tromping through the woods and climbing into tree stands at 70 (10 years after the heart attack). Also just played a golf marathon with his three sons (that nearly killed me) a couple weeks ago, 126 holes in five days.
Your father's health will be a positive in his recovery.
Thoughts and prayers Bro.
