Dad is finished with surgery. Here's the update:
1. They removed 3/4 of his lung... they were mistaken on the size. It wasn't an Orange but a Grapefruit instead.
2. Margins looked good (great news)
3. Main Lymph nodes looked good. There's a couple nodes that were close to the tumor that will need to be treated with Chemo once he's healed from surgery.
4. They removed a piece of his heart valve and replaced it with cow intestine. ??? Hmmmmm....
He's going to be in ICU soon. My mom, Bro and Alyssa are at the hospital now waiting for Dad to get out of recovery. I'll keep everyone posted on when you can visit.
Thanks for all the comments!!! Especially Jeff Moffetts..... Yes, Dad has probably arranged a way to make a few grand while recovering in the hospital. :-)
