Wonderful news! After some 8.5 hours of surgery yesterday, the
surgeon felt it was a successful surgery with a large tumor removed in
its entirity and seemingly no evidence of spreading. Bill will remain
in the hospital about 10 days, then home to heal more. If he feels well
enough, we can even travel abit! In some 6-9 weeks, he would begin a
course of appropriate chemo-radiation and then we'll be staying close to
home. Our many prayers have surely been answered and we thank you for
your thoughts, prayers and friendship.
