Latest on Walt 8/12/09

Walt went to the doctor today to follow up on the mass that is in his neck. In the previous update, I mentioned that he would be doing this to determine the growth rate of the mass so that he could decide on surgery. At his last visit, the measurement was 2.7 centimeters; it is now 3.5 centimeters. The doctor recommended surgery and Walt is going to go through with it. He will need to be off of the Plavix for two to three weeks before he can have the surgery.

One other note of concern is his weight loss to this point. He has lost quite a bit of weight in the last few months. Unfortunately, I think I found it.

I'll update as I know more. For now, please pray for Walt to not be anxious during his wait for the surgery and for a successful procedure once it is done.

Take care and have blessed day.
