Update from Pops

Here is the latest update from Pops. This is taken from his Caring Bridge webpage...

"Dr Grist informed Margaret and I that the tumor removed was an 'Aggressive' fast growing tumor. 98% of the Parotid tumor was removed. In addition 22 lymph nodes were removed and 2 of the lymph nodes were malignant. According to Dr Grist all malignancy was removed but will do a PET scan to make sure. Great news in the process of recovery."

"Dr said he will provide Margaret and I with full details in writing when I see him on October 22nd. Dr Grist will also set the appointment with Radiology and start that process."

"Other than its difficult to shave around the stitches, all still very numb but I slept very poorly last evening. Must try some sleep aids. Very tired this morning."
