Surgery not an option today
Dr. Hofstetter just came out to talk with Jim & Judy. Once he got in, he realized the tumor's position was more complicated than they had previously thought, and the risks of loss of an entire lung were much higher. The doctor decided he could not do the surgery because he was not convinced he could get all of the tumor out without serious consequences.
It's worth noting that the tumor is not any bigger than previously thought, but its position is just more complicated, so the original surgery plan is not feasible. Greg's doctors will get together and advise on next steps.
Greg will be coming out of anesthesia shortly, so I'll wait for him to provide more details. Thank you all for continuing to pray.
