Surgery Update

Hi Everyone,

Quick recap - Dad went to Houston for tests on Fri. 3/20 on his way back from a quick biz trip to Vegas. Today, he & Mom were in Houston again to get results, see the surgeon and some other specialists, and plan for surgery. The surgeon has decided to postpone surgery 3-4 weeks because Dad's blood protein levels aren't as high as he would like. But the good news is that the doctor confirmed that Dad had handled the chemo/radiation treatment very well, the preliminary results of his thyroid biopsy are negative (a previous scan indicated there might be something so they have been monitoring it the last few months), and last but not least...

...the cancer has not spread AND the tumor has shrunk!!!

Thank you for your continued prayers, thoughts, and support. I hope to celebrate many more birthdays with my Dad.
