surgery update

Dr. just came in - surgery is done. He put in a shunt that will drain the fluid to his abodomen.

An incision in his stomach will be more to recover from than the head incision.

We do not know how long the shunt will have to be in. Dr said fluid was clear but they will send off to pathology to be sure cancerous cells aren't be drained off to other parts of his body.

This of course has delayed the treatment scehdule and will have to wait and see when we will be able to move on to radiation.

thank you for all your prayers,

with love,
