biopsy Tuesday but everyone is expecting surgery this time. On Friday, a team will decide which surgery to perform. I'm glad they told him the types of surgery they will probably do so he's prepared.

He's been unemployed since late November so it looks like it will be for awhile longer as he will be in hospital up to a week most likely and not sure how long recovery will be.

thankful we have health insurance but are still paying quite a bit for living expenses such as a house, etc. Life is going to get rougher for at least a while. He has done little to get a job but it seems now it might get harder to get a job if he doesn't bounce back from this and look for one. Can't really talk about it as he's worried people will get word of this and won't hire him....I'm not sure anyone is really interested in him anyway. Gets old walking around with all this stress and few places to unload it.
