Surgery Map


Here is a drawing that Dr. Sugarbaker drew. All the black nodules (black spot drawing) are possible cancer nodules. There is 10 of them on the upper left of his colon. Dr. Sugarbaker took all them and sent them to pathology. The lower ones he said were tricky to get to but was very glad it was him to do the surgery. The one in his colon at the point where he first had his surgery was not golf ball size like we were first told. The tumor was the size of a marble. Dr. Sugarbaker stated he got everything out. He was very happy to see so little. Last year he had several thousand the size of a pin head that he took out and hundreds the size of a bean that he took out. This time he had a total of only 20 and hopefully there are no more!!

I tried to reproduce his picture.

Thank you for all your continued prayers.
