update: round six

first of all i would like to say.
Thank you all for your support, i really appreciate it. im glad i found this site, i came here to learn about tractors and implements and ended up getting to know a great group of folks that i admire and respect.
well, it was a 3 hour surgery, everything went ok, the Dr said that there would be a celleoligist on hand to check instantly for cancer, when i woke he told me they took a bunch of big samples and opened up the air passage again, he told me that they are going to send the samples to do more test and tell me if i have cancer for sure or not this time. (none found instantly) that's what they told me last time and the time before etc... on the 4th operation they cut my throat and went in and took a bunch of limp nodes and they all came back negative. A limp nodes' job is to attack anything bad in your body ant it will find a cancer cell first. so when all my limp nodes all came back negative i figured i was pretty much out of the woods. i guess the Dr has to keep telling me of the possibility to C.Y.O.A ( cover ones own posterior ) he also told me that i have a few more surgery's to look forward to, no matter how it goes. so, anyway i get to sit around and ponder my future (or none) for the next 4 or 5 days. but im feeling pretty good and im in good spirits and not too worried, i got my tractors to play with to help keep my mind off things to some degree. thanks everyone

Hey Jen
I'm glad your doing better!! Hate that you have more surgeries to go. I wish I wasn't all the way across the country from you or there would be some tractor repairs going on while you were recuperating. Been working on boats for the last few weeks and I'm ready to get back to working on old tractors but the boat work does pay well and that pays for parts for my old tractors. Keep us posted on how your doing and you are in my prayers

Lymph nodes, not limp nodes. Makes a difference if you try to look them up. The surgeon removed a number of mine 12/10/11 along with parts of my lower digestive system. Now I only have opinions, but so far I test clean.

It sounds like the doctors are taking good care of you, wish you the best.

Sorry to hear that, Walt.

I gotta remember to start at the bottom of the page and work my way up! I came here to check and see if you had posted anything and finally found this one. Glad to hear from you and that you are doing ok. Bummer that you fave to face more. Hoping for the best.

Good to see you back with us so soon! And bearing
good news, except for more surgeries...

We're all thinking of you and praying for you, get
well soon!
