reevesr1 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Just wondering if anyone knew how Birchy's surgery went. Thought CDock might know? Hoping for the best... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolman Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have not heard any news yet. I spoke to Birchy Thursday via email and he told me that his doctors were not expecting any issues and predicted a quick recovery. I also sent a pm to Cdock on Saturday, but I'm not sure if he has received it yet, as he has not been on the site this past weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchy Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hey guys i'm baaaack! Just got home 5 minutes ago. Doctor let me out today. Everything went really well. The doctor says she got the majority of the tumor out. Had to leave a bit of it behind to avoid hurting the pituitary and surrounding area. I feel pretty much normal other than a runny nose. But I have to take it easy for a week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chidders Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Wow hardly missed a beat...... or BJOTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchDryfly Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Great to have you back in such a short time. Does the part left does not create any problems or do you have to undergo more surgery later? Can't wait for the next BJOTW. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchy Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 The remainder of the tumor can potentially grow bigger again but from what I understand, I won't be having any more surgeries. From here on in they'll deal with it with drugs and possibly radiation as an absolute last resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
