Mark's Surgery

Ok..after a very long and stressful day.. I am finally getting a second to let you know that Mark made it through his surgery today. He is doing pretty good... a little nauseated. Hopefully just from the anesthesia. I think the worst part for him is the catheter he has to keep in until Sunday. His doctor really believes that all the tumors were superficial.. not embedded in the walls of the bladder. I have learned this is the only way that the cancer can spread outside the bladder. We won't know for sure though until the lab results come back. The doc was hoping to get them by Friday. He was also going to have them sent off for genetic testing. So those results will be very interesting to get back. Mark had his first chemo treatment during the surgery process too. We are praying it is the first step to killing this thing for good. We appreciate dearly all the thoughts.. prayers.. goodies.. food.. dinners and support. We TRULY have the most wonderful friends and family!! We love you all more than you will ever know! I will let you know as soon as we get all the results. XOXO
