Impending Surgery

Hi everyone,Thank you for the well-wishes. I

appreciate them all!

I spoke to the surgeon last night. His name is Hertl. Very nice man. We

are going to

see him Monday at noon to go over everything. We've got an hour with him.

He told me that he and the radiologist went over my MRI and both think it is

malignant. The

lesion is compressing a blood vessel, which benign tumors never do, and I have

an enlarged

lymph node just outside my liver -- this is also something they've never seen a

benign tumor

cause.

I think I will be in the hospital, having resection surgery before the month is

over.
