In a Nutshell

I know so many of you are waiting for this post, but I have to make it short tonight. I will fill in all of the details tomorrow when I have had more time to process everything we talked over with the surgeon.

So, in a nutshell:

We LOVED Dr. House.

Biopsies from the colonoscopy showed that the malignancy is entirely gone (from the colon).

Johnny's liver is significantly more involved than we thought, throughout the entire liver.

We are going to be very, very aggressive with both surgery and additional chemotherapy.

We have two options on our plates.

He will NOT need a colostomy.

I may get to finally see New York, after all.

Please pray -- a lot.

I promise that I'll fill in the blanks tomorrow. Please know that we are OK. We will still beat this. It just is going to be a much longer and involved process than we originally thought. In the ups and downs department, today was a down -- with options.
