This is what the doctor told us:
A huge portion of the large tumor was removed. He removed the vertebra (T11 &T12), and replaced them with the metal cage and filled it with bone cement. (The other smaller tumors will be treated with chemo or radiation.)
He is moving his legs, and Dr. White is confident he will walk! It is plasmacytoma, BUT it is treatable with radiation or chemo. It will be 3 weeks before treatment can start. He did lose a lot of blood, and they gave him 9 units. The surgery lasted 8 hours and was difficult, BUT he did great and we know that it's due to your constant prayers. IT will be a LONG road...he's got to walk and we have to kill that cancer but we KNOW GOD CAN DO THAT!!!!!
God is Good ALL the time!

Thank you for the updates!! God DOES have the power to help him recover!!
Christopher is concerned about his 'Uncle Bert' and 'Aunt Bee'. I couldn't sleep, so I was up to read both your posts this morning, Karyn! Hope you & Deb will try to rest while Bob is in ICU. You'll need your strength take care of him later on, you know. Auntie Pat sends her love. I expect that Bob will have a new organization formed in the hospital before long. Maybe TWFC - toe wigglers for Christ or something like that! Love to all of you, Janet Roof
