Hi everyone - After spending the past two weeks doing lots of testing and getting lots of doctors opinions, Drac has decided to move forward with the robotic prostate surgery at City of Hope. It is scheduled for this Friday, March 14. 14 is Drac's favorite number so we are already looking good! With your well wishes, thoughts and prayers, he should be home on Sunday to begin his recovery.
That's the good news!
The not so good news is that during the testing an MRI picked up benign tumors, three on his lower spine and a couple others higher up. This will be phase 2 of Drac's medical issues. Once he has rested enough, the doctors will bring him back in to deal with these. We are not exactly sure yet what will be recommended, but have been alerted that it may be another surgery or a protone treatment. Either way will involve more doctors bills and more time that he can not work. I will keep you all updated on how this evolves in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, we will be working on benefit ideas to help continue the fundraising efforts. This will probably happen in June. We are hopeful that by then we will have the worst behind us and Drac may even be recovered enough to join us!
