thanks for all the kind words this past year and thanks for the understanding ears.

what is going to happen on the 8th is that the surgeon will make an incision and remove a section of my wifes bile duct that has
a cancerous growth in it. He will somehow stretch the remainder in order to sew the two ends together. I am amazed at this.

That will expose the hepatic artery which if it has cancer in will need to be excised and whatever section is removed will be
replaced by a section of vein from her leg. If there is too much cancer he will come to me to make a decision as to going on or
closing up.

He will also remove the right lobe of her liver and her gall bladder.

THis is major surgery and I'm scared of how it will turn out. She hasn't let me know her feelings yet.

Talk to you guys later.
