We got home around 7 PM last night. The surgery went well. Doctor took out the mass. It was attached to the lateral rexius muscle of his eye so he couldn't get it all without damaging the muscle but got most of it. It wasn't pressing on the optical nerve so that is good news. He will do a biopsy and if it is a lymphoma they may have to do another surgery or just chemo on that eye. We will know more next week. He is worn out tonight and his eye is very swollen. He did really well through it all.
We should have the path report next week. He will go back to Portland for a follow up on Oct 12th. Doctor said he can drive as soon as he is off of the pain medication.
He also said he could go fishing if someone else reels in the fish. He thinks it would be good therapy for Alan since he enjoys is so much. Our neighbor and Alan's fishing buddy is more than happy to reel in the fish.

I am getting excited about my trip now that this surgery is over. The path report will tell us what is our next move. Hopefully it will be negative and need no chemo. Everyone's prayers have help so far. I feel positive that the out come will be good.
Thanks Everyone
I will keep you posted

Oh, I am so delighted the first step went so well. Both of you are in my prayers.
