Ok...on with scarier bit on the bro. Arrived this morning after talking on the phone with Mr.onzedge (btw Donald, glad I canceled today's trip over to your house, it turned out to be the best decision). Any-who, arrived at hospital and was given the news: The infection was still draining a lot of fluid and they think it's more that just an infection at the incision.

First let me spill the beans, as I have been keeping it under wraps as to what was surgically done (removed) and the diagnosis. His left upper lung lobe was removed and is cancerous (sarcoma). Sarcoma is a fatty tissue type of cancer. There are 17 variations of sarcoma and his was labeled leoxxxx sarcoma. The good new is that the oncologist said at this time since its growing at such a slow (6 years plus to grow)that NO treatment would do him any good at this time. For the treatment to work, the cancer cell needs to be growing and wide open and his is NOT, it's dormant and slow growing. Hence at this time no treatment. Yeh....

He had some complications (rare complications with the upper lobe removal) the lung had a leak, and air pockets developed between his skin and flesh (he looked like the incredible hulk), and now the infection.

Ok, they think the infection is from the last air pocket that was reseeding and the infection manifested itself in the air pocket. So tomorrow he is gong under surgery again to remove the air and clean out the bacteria. It's good that they are not cutting into his lung again. They discovered that the fluid (bacteria - pus) had increased overnight.

We are in good spirits and have an upbeat attitude that this will be the last. The doctors have said they are going to write a book on him. He will be in the hospital until Friday.
