Surgeon’s Update

5 Seconds after I clicked “Publish” on the previous post, the surgeon called.

Continued good news:

• Tumor out.
• Right adrenal gland out, as planned.
• Right kidney out, as planned.
• Liver spared. “I only had to shave off 0.5% of it”. Had thought up to 50% taken out so this is great news.
• Gall bladder spared, also great news.
• Reconstructing Vena Cava, as expected.
• Pathology currently under way to understand margins.
• Sandi in stable condition.

He’s expecting they will be done in next 2 hours, so on the earlier side of the estimate.

Dr Rich nailed it on the snack front
