The docs were very happy with how everything went! Blood loss was minimal, his vitals were and are strong. He's in a lot of pain so they are trying to find something to manage his pain better.
They opened up the kidney and tumor when they got it out and they said it looks like it was just contained in the kidney. We won't know for sure if it was cancer for another 7 to 10 days, but the doc said it probably is. But the good news is this type of cancer is not very aggressive and hasn't spread. Surgery and periodic CT scans to keep an eye on things should be all we need to do. He said this thing could have been growing for as much as 5 years.
The hard part is over! He could be home as early as Saturday if he handles food good and his pain is under control! Thanks everyone for you kind thoughts and prayers, my man is going to be just fine!
