From my dad about his surgery & results:
All wired and properly connected, Ethel and I made the quick and fun trip to
the Dr.'s office in Norfolk this morning. With a few quips and a few snips
they unstapled me. Ethel said 46 staples. Pathology report did show that
the tumor had grown to 4.5 cm. When this started last Oct, it was 3.7 cm so
it was growing at a good pace. The tumor was all encapsulated and the shell
was still intact. Type 2 carcinoma or more commonly know as kidney cancer.
Now it is just a matter of yearly check-ups with X-rays and blood work.
Sure glad to have it out of there.
Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers guys!!
