Hi Christine!
Thank you!
It was great news. I feel better now! I am still very nervous. I will be until the day of the surgery. The doctor said my dad will be evaluated about a week after the surgery to see if he still needs radiation. He did mention he believes surgery will be enough. He is not suppossed to have any aspirin before the surgery. Now I am trying find out more info about his tests before surgery but he has a hold until we get his insurance.. I spent the weekend collecting information the insurance co might need. This week feels endless I have not been able to sleep, I guess it is normal, but we are taking it day by day. Can he really eat everything or should he avoid some foods? They gave him a list of things to avoid.

Thank you for everything <3 I hope you enjoy your day and we'll keep in touch smile
