HOOOO we are home. It was a long trip, but worth every second. The surgeon said he believes the cancer CAN be removed. The surgery is scheduled for October 31,13. We are so happy and thankful for all of your help. The gas alone is so expensive, I don"t know how we would have been able to manage the costs. Mike will be going back again, on Sunday, for the final appointments before surgery.  EVERYONE at MDAnderson was so kind and helpful,and the hospital is huge! I will post photos soon, I hope. Our love to all and we will keep you posted.
