Mike has just gotten out of surgery and the endoscopy has revealed that a better course of action will be to remove the tumor and the lymph nodes near his throat perhaps next week. He will then have to have a temporary tracheotomy and a feeding tube while he recovers for 5-10 days. All of this sounds very serious, which it is, but it provides my father with the chance of removing all of the cancer now and avoiding chemo and/or radiation.

Mike will be coming home from today's endoscopy tomorrow morning at around 10. I will keep you all posted on the next surgery date/time and his room number at the hospital for the next surgery.

Thank you again for all of your positive thoughts and prayers. If anyone has ANY questions at all, you can call me at (415) 871-1468.

Much Love,

Adam
