A week after seeing Dr Kim, surgery was scheduled. We stayed with Aimee and David Sunday night. They had ordered a memory foam wedge pillow for Dennis and he slept the best he had in months on the wedge.

They didn't take him into surgery until 4:30PM. De and Aimee waited with me. We got many phone calls from family. When Dr Kim came to talk to me, I knew it was bad news. You want your surgeon to come out with a smile on their face. That means things went well and they are proud of their accomplishment. He was not smiling. The lymph node was ok, but the appendix was eaten through with cancer. There was cancer all over surfaces of the stomach, messentery, liver, pericardium, etc. they took the appendix, one tumor and a sample by the cecum.
