Best news ever

Everything was good with my MRI and CT scan today. No surprises and everything has progressed just as the surgeon expected it would. We scheduled my surgery for 7:30 am on Monday July 16. He expects surgery to last around 2 hours, and I will be into the hospital (Crawford Long) 2 to 4 days. He will probably have to cut into a little bit of muscle but he says it is no big deal. He just did a surgery similar to mine but had to cut into the hamstring and the guy was walking the next day. He says it is close to the siatic (sp) nerve but that should not cause a problem. He is not sure if I will need any physical therapy or not, but he felt like I could be playing tennis in 6 weeks.

The will cut the whole tumor out and send it to be biopsied. That lab report will determine if
I will additional chemo or not. All in all a great report and the best I could have hoped for. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Old boss Hank will be coming by to visit tomorrow, and that will be really fun! Mine is going to be a great weekend! Hope yours is the same!
