1. Dr Pelzer feels confident that he removed all of the cancer from my head. The cancer was more pervasive than anyone expected, so surgery took 7 hours instead of 2-4 hours. I lost more tissue than was projected, but it is all in the name of precaution. He did pull off the minor miracle of saving my eye and my entire eyelid, which is pretty cool. I lost some of my optic nerve, but Dr. Pelzer doesnt think it will affect my vision.
2. I will have to have radiation therapy, although what kind and to what extent is not determined yet. I have an appointment in three weeks with Dr. Agulnik to determine this.
3. My eye is currently stitched shut, in order to reduce strain and swelling as it heals. I will have the stitches out on Wednesday when I see Dr. Few.
4. Dr. Few says my lack of swelling is due to my “superior healing powers”, and that I have a nicely shaped head. He is the most brilliant doctor ever.
5. All in all, things are looking okay. I am not excited about radiation therapy, but I am less excited about this cancer coming back.
6. Unfortunately, I have nothing to say at 2nd Lt. Medeiros’ expense. How tragic. I could mention that he was the most curious about the back half of that store we all went to after dinner the other night, but you had to be there…
More thanks to everyone for more support. I continue to get emails, phone calls, and especially comments here that let me know everyone is “on board”. THANKS!
Eddy,
Phase one – steal underpants
Phase two – ????
Phase three – profit
Go Team Schrank!

It's great to bring in the New Year with the good news. I get so overwhelmed that I don't have the proper words to express how thankful I am other than – Yahoo – Wowie – Atta Boy – Good going and bless and be thankful for every minute of every day ! Mom

That's good news! I watched my mother go through both chemo and radiation and radiation isn't as nasty as it sounds. Stay strong and lean on us if you need any support! Go TEAM SHRANK!
