But I'm only 5 blocks from the hospital. Dr. Wang told us it is stage III or IV. Which will be determined during pathology of tumor. He's confident no nodes involved. We both agree that we just want to get on the other side of this surgery so that recovery can begin. We want to go to New Orleans in our RV for Mardi Gras. I plan on posting the whole time Reg is in the hos[pital. I hope you all will be there for me.
