My Uncle

My uncle is at John's Hopkins today having surgery. He has pancreatic cancer http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pancreatic-cancer/DS00357 and has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments but it is not having enough of the desired effect. Apparently the specialist in Baltimore feels that there is a slim chance that that he might be able to remove the tumor. He will have to open him up to see if this will be an option. Anyway, now I am just waiting to hear from mom about how things went.

He is a great guy and I am worried about him.
