Play Jeopardy tune here.
Update: Squamous cell carcinoma, 6 more hours of surgery to take out the lymph nodes on that side.
More waiting...
Last update for today:
He's out of surgery at 11:30 pm
Wed and off to ICU. They took lots of yucky stuff out. Kept the nerve to
the shoulder, had to take out a facial nerve so he may have Sylvester
Stallone lip. Won't know about that until he wakes up. Scraped off tumor
from around the carotid and jugular, took out a butt load of lymph
nodes.
They're keeping him out
and intubated tonight so he can get some rest. Likely to start chemo and
radiation in about 3 weeks, after he has a chance to heal up some.
He'll be in the hospital 2-4 days depending on how well he recovers.
Long day for all of us. Going to bed now.
