The Saturday Morning Report

Okay, the doctor called today to explain more of what's going on. To summarize:

1 - They looked at his liver because, if it was colon cancer, that's one of the places it goes.

2 - They saw an "irregular spot" there on the CAT scan, but from the MRI (better at seeing soft tissues) they think it's most likely a blood vessel thing which livers do now and again.

3 - They still don't thing there's anything metastatic wrong, but they don't know precisely what the intestine thing is except it needs to go.

4 - They hope to operate tomorrow morning.

Oh, and as of five minutes ago, it was snowing here. Again. (Up north they got three inches on the ground...)

SATURDAY NIGHT UPDATE - The surgery's scheduled for Sunday morning. If anyone out there happens to read this between now and then, good vibes would be appreciated.
