Ernie - Thursday Update

I visited Ernie today and he looks good.
He is a very positive person and continues to look at the bright side when given bad news.
Today is one of those days. They discovered in the tissue they removed from Ernie's liver, had cancer all the way to the edge of what they removed. What this means is there is a chance they didn't remove all of the cancer. They will continue on with chemo and the planned therapy and they will test him after that. Ernie says he feels good and is ready to move on.

Like I said Ernie told the doctor that they never saw the cancer in the test, but only when they did the surgery on the colon did they discover the cancer. He said thank you to the doctor for noticing it, as it could have easily been unnoticed.

Ernie did say he is ready to go camping as he is retired and ready to do that type of stuff.

Ernie will be in the hospital until Saturday most likely. He is recovering very nicely and enjoyed our visit. Please keep both Ernie and Cindy, and family in your prayers.
