Joe went under the knife yesterday. the surgery went well.

Joe remained on the surgery table for 9 hours. The surgeon cut out every cancerous tissue that was found in his abdomen, then bathed the whole abdominal cavity  with chemo. Joe says this is called “the Mother of All Surgeries.”

Joe is in great pain right now. He is hoping for visitors at Froedtert.

The excised tissues were sent to pathology. The analysis is due back in a couple of weeks.
