When the doctor came into the waiting room we all held our breath as he debriefed Erika and Ty. They removed most of the mass, but some of it was wrapped around an artery and posed too much risk to remove at this point. All-in-all, the surgery went well.
They were told that the next day or two would be recovery time and then more tests would begin. The tests are to detect if the cancer has spread, if at all. The tests will include a bone scan, another CAT scan (including chest) and a bone marrow test.
Tonight Peter is pretty out of it, but he looks good and is not in pain (thanks to the meds). He has oxygen in his nose, a tube to his stomach, and IV and oxygen monitor, so he’s pretty wired up, but it’s good to see his eyes again.
