José called again about 10 minutes later and made me freak out a little when I saw the number come across my phone. He wanted to let us know that they had looked around with the microscope and had decided to go forth with the larger incision. We were hoping to get this news because it seemed like this would surgically remove a little more cancer out of his body. He will be much more sore with this procedure, but it seemed like Jon was hoping things would turn out this way as well. He told the doctors yesterday, "I don't care about the pain. Please just do what you think is best." Jon, as well as the rest of us, have an extreme amount of confidence in his surgical team!
José called once again at 10:37 to let us know that the doctors had removed Jon's pleura and that they were able to get the cells they needed. They were in the process of making sure there was no bleeding or complications before finishing things up. I was told to call José at 11:37 if I haven't heard from him.
We are in the waiting room now hoping to hear from José any minute :)
Good news.
ReplyDeleteSharon just said, "We're praying that he will be cancer-free and will live a long and happy life with his wife."
Amen to that!!
