My wife and I will start a leisurely drive to MD Anderson hospital in Houston tomorrow.

Will stop in DFW and spend the night , then on to Houston where I'll meet my brother. He'll stick with my wife and I through the operation and part of the recovery.

Doctor's appointment is Tuesday at 0930, surgery as fast after that as I can get them to agree to do it. I could have had it done locally last week, but I held out for Anderson as they have an exceptional reputation as a cancer center.

I appreciate your prayers (feel free to add me to any prayer list you know of) and positive thoughts and general "good vibrations".

My wife will call Rude and he can post here.

I had a few more tests to check individual kidney function and such and they came out pretty good. There's a slight chance they may be able to save some of the kidney but I'm not counting on that. They still have to do an eyeball/hand check of those lesions on my liver too.

There's only one way to tell........ here we go.

I'll be thinking about you buddy.

All will be well and much BBQ consumed shortly.

My best wishes.

How long are you staying in Houston?

I live in Conroe and might be able to come down to Houston and visit while you are still in town.

Good luck Toad. Good decision in going to Houston. M.D. Anderson is one of the finest in the world. Dr. Denton Cooley performed surgery on my Father there in '92.
