Below is just a message for tonight to at least let you know how things went. I will be back and tell more about the surgery later. It is late and tired.

Bill; I got your PM and will post more later about the surgery and in this topic. I don't remember if you read my husband's story but he had treatment before surgery. Lil different than yours. You might check link and read it.

Below is my mutiple message:

For this 'good Friday', but rather long one, I am preparing one brief message to update my family, friends and associates that I have been keeping up to date by way of the Internet. I will provide more details as more progress is made and my mind clears.

Joe and his family could not have asked for anything better than what we got today. The surgery was done and the tumor and right lower lobe was removed and I believe the middle lobe. All looked good and will be getting tests results later.

Joe was told he would probably be on a ventilator Friday night and maybe Saturday morning. As it went, he was breathing on his own and no ventilator. That alone was a big step.

Everyone is tired. Barring anything unexpected it should be uphill from here. My heart goes out to him for the pain he is enduring but it looks like it is all working out.

We are thanking God and we had many prayers from all over and cannot thank everyone enough. I am so thankful for the friends and family and doctors that have been with us thru this. Thank you thank you thank you. We Thank God for all he has given us.

Mary,

I can't tell you how happy I am that this huge step is over and done. Good for Joe for coming off the ventilator already! He's a fighter and you're a great wife. You both will continue to be in my thoughts during his recovery.

Hugs,
PBJ
