I got a call from mom this afternoon. She said Rocky came through the surgery well. She was on her way to his room to wait for him there.

The surgeon removed about one-third of his colan. I told Rocky he has a semicolan now. It was nearly blocked so he would have been in for serious problems had nothing been done.

Biopsies were taken of the liver cancer. The surgeon could not offer any information other than there were several spots. The kind of cancer and prognosis will come later.

Mom said the doctor said Rocky was a candidate for chemotherapy.

That's the news so far, but so far so good.

I will post more information as it becomes available.
