Well, we received the second best news we could today. Of course our first prayer was for the tumor to be totally gone but the stinker is still there so the news of it being contained in the upper part of the kidney and not the ureter (sp?) was great news for us to receive. The doctor seemed very positive while he talked to us after the procedure. He took some samples when he did the scope and we should know the results in a week. The next step will be to meet with the doctor to make sure the tests show it's contained in top part of kidney and then plan when the surgery will be to hopefully remove only the top part of his left kidney.
They had to put a stent in and it's causing some pain. Our specific prayers now are for the pain to be minimal until the stent comes out Monday morning and that the doctor is right about the tumor only being in the top part of the kidney.
We are so blessed that we have so many keeping us in their thoughts and prayers. It's truly overwhelming the love that we feel. Thank you all so much!
Like we told the kids, it's a blessing that the tumor was irritated and that the cancer is in a kidney because God gave us two and we only need one!
Thanks again for your love and support!!

So thankful for this news! Stents are not fun. I had one after my hysterectomy. Praying for it to be contained and the stent to come out Monday and minimal pain!
