...is out of surgery, they killed the tumor, and the Dr.'s feel they do have clean margins on what they took out!! It will be several days for actual biopsy results, but it looks good! He will be in the hospital for a couple of days, but I'm sure he will check in soon.
I just got the call from his mom, and she had great news to report to pass along!
Way to go Jim! See ya soon bro!!
