6:00 Update- Dr just came out and said the procedure went well. They took the whole kidney and all the plumbing to the bladder on that side. It looks like the cancer was contained at this point but that it was pretty advanced and would surely have been fatal if not addressed. They made 4 small incisions and one a bit bigger to actually get the kidney out. Dad tolerated it well but they are watching him pretty close. His heart and lungs usually do give him trouble. He will be here until they feel he can manage being home without having to come right back. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. We have been very impressed with Huntsman and the professionals here. He is in good hands.
