I finally arrived back home a little while while ago, on Wednesday with some mixed reviews. Surgery started at 7:40pm, and ws in recovery arounnd 10:30am. My surgeon came in too see in recovery, and said radiaition could not be given nor given safely being so close, maybe attched to the carotid artery, and microscopic cancer was still there. They want to go back in and remove what they can, including the cartotid artery, and do the radaition as planned, which I agreed to, and know this is no easy task. After a few hours, I was send to another sister hospital by ambulance for testing to see how i would fare with one carotid artery with a baloon inclusion aertery test via the femoral artearery and sealed by baloon temporaally, similar to an angeoplasty, that was later closed with suture mediated closure and Mynx Vasculature closure device was supposed go go back to by hospital, but stayed in their neuro ICU. The test showed my carotid and other veins in good working order, so I can have the carid artey in my left neck sealed or remved and surgey and radiation done next Thusday.
