Surgery #2

Cleve spoke with Dr. Hwu last week and it was decided between her and Dr. Ross, the rock star surgeon, that Cleve would undergo surgery first before anything. Dr. Ross looked at the scans and wants to attempt to remove all of the tumor and would like to give him some time to heal before starting chemo. Judging by  the way Cleve feels at the moment, it is going to be one tough surgery. Cleve feels like the tumor just continues to grow and is very uncomfortable for him.  It seems to be so large that Cleve cannot comfortably hang his arm at his side and has trouble finding a comfortable position to sleep in. Relief cannot come soon enough. Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, April 25th, so we will head down a few days prior for preliminary appointments and stay a few days after, just in case.  I will have more posts when we get down to Houston in about a week and a half. Until then...
