Been there ... done that ... my buddy had bone cancer ... we went for the surgery ... it was successful in saving his life however 4 months later it was in his lungs and his organs on the x-ray were "marbalized" a huge tumor.
Would I do it again?
YES! We knew his personality and knew he would handle the outcome well. We were right!
He loved us and we loved him. We just had alittle more time together and babied him. This too was a couple grand ... it was either that or he would die.
Unfortunately the blood work lied and so did the ultra sound ... the cancer had traveled bit wasn't showing up yet so that is why we proceeded with the surgery.
Forgot to mention we have some biopsies of his lymph nodes and all was clear - no sign of cancer.
We were fooled!
God had other plans. He was good to us in allowing him to have just alittle more time. he healed beautifully and had NO trouble getting around. It was bitter sweet. Inspiring to see him just want to stay and be with us.
