Just an update to tell you that we have had word that Nathan's surgery has been pushed back yet again to September 14. Luke and I are very uncomfortable with that and are waiting to speak to his oncologist in New York. At this time we are considering going elsewhere for surgery - though very reluctantly.
We are really hoping that we can ge things figured out when we hear from his oncologist - but itis likely that Luke and I will have to make a big decision about timing of surgery versus surgeon and whether or not to wait in order to do the intraoperative radiation.
We are extremely frustratated because every day this tumor remains in Nathan's body it has a chance to start spreading. If that should happen his prognosis is extremely grim. We just don't know if we can stand by and wait for surgery due to administrative and scheduling problems. If his cancer should spread in that time - because they couldn't get him on the schedule that would be devastating.
So - please send all your thoughts and prayers this way for a resolution and a decision that Luke and I can feel comfortable with.
I will update when we hear anything.
