Hey got a text from Julie and they are in a hurry up and wait mode.
Guess they are running behind this morning.
Will update when I know more.

Thanks Cappy
Yeah but... did she make the poor bastard a brownie?
If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
I doubt it. Wimmins got no sense of humor when it comes to health issues.

He is in surgery now. She said no lymph nodes involved. Surgery should take about 4 hours.

And I sorta kinda doubt she made the brownies. I'd ask but don't know her well enough. Don't want to be removed from the " text updates".

From what little I know, no lymph nodes are an indication that it hasn't spread. Makes sense based on Barry's comment that they thought taking the kidney is all that would be necessary.

Correct. No lympn nodes means it's likely the cancer is localized. I would imagine he'll still get at least radiation treatments or chemo, maybe both.

Still in surgery and things are going well so far.
No lymph nodes is a good thing. Means it ain't spread.

It'd be funny if the kidney they remove is the one that makes him a bleeding heart liberal

True story. I've got a buddy whose fiancé had a brain tumor. After the operation, they broke up as she said they cut out the part of her brain that loved him.

Just got this text from Mrs Posthiole.
"Kidney is out! Dr is closing, shouldn't be too much longer Barry is doing great"

More likely they removed the part of her brain that prevented her from being able to see. Poor woman prolly shit herself when she saw you for the first time!

"He is out all is good Cancer was only on the outside of the bottom of the kidney not inside and the tube to the bladder was.not involved dr said it was hard to work it out ( not much room) but he was able to get it done should be able to see him in a about an hour"

Great news! Those kidneys are prolly all swelled up from over use for all these years. It's probably good his liver wasn't involved.
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Raoul Duke
BOOM! That's about as good as could be hoped for! Did they take the whole kidney just to be safe?

From what I understand LJ they did. But I've not heard that for sure. I know that was the plan. Unless something changes when they were inside.

Little old kidney stones might have alerted him to an early diagnosis of of a potentially life threatening situation. Wonder if the stones were a result of this?
Great news indeed!...Thanks Cappy!
Good New, thanks Cap.
The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me
Great news.
If they take both, he can have one of mine.

Awesome news. He'll be back to his cantankerous self in no time!
From what Posthole told me the kidney stones were not really a "true" kidney stone. It was actually blood and matter from the cancer drying and moving through his system and they acted like kidney stones. Having the "stones" back to back is why they did the CT scan that found the cancer. I'm sure Posty can explain it much better when he is up to it.

I talked to him before his surgery and asked the same question. I may not have understood correctly, but I think he said the "stones" were actually dried/hardened blood clots caused by the cancer on the kidney. (Or something like that)
Heck, now that I look, I guess that's actually pretty much what you said.
Awesome news!
