The Pathology report is back! Dr. Stephensen came in late this afternoon and shared the report with us. Only 1 of 32 lymph nodes showed any sign of cancer. No cancer is present in the prostate or ureters and all surgucal margins are univolved. Bottom line: No further treatment needed. Dad will need ct scans etc. on a regular basis to watch for any signs of cancer elsewhere. We know it may reoccur but Dr. Stephensen said chances are good that it may not.We are grateful for all of the faith and prayers extended on Dad's behalf. We thank our Father in Heaven for the peace and comfort we have felt so far and for this blessing of health and hope.
Dad still has some recovery time ahead. He is very weak after his stint with the pain meds, but this news, I think, will give him the incentive he needs to get better faster :).
Love to you all - Dayna
