I have a son named Nick and your experience brings back memories of my son's heart illness when he was younger. It's the unknown that tears at your heart. Keep up the good spirits and all will be well. My son is fine today after his major heart surgery. You will be in our prayers.

Mark,
I wish I would have seen this thread earlier so that we could have been praying for Nick as well. We have a friend going through a fight with cancer now and the effect it has on everyone are strong, family or friends. We will be praying for Nick as he goes to surgery. Please keep us all up to date on his recovery.

God bless your family.

Stay strong & we are praying for you guys.

MD Anderson is an amazing facility. He is in very good hands. A buddy that I race with was down there last year & is now doing very well. I also have been going through Multiple Myeloma with my mom for the last few years. She is now in remission.

They can work miracles these days & the advancements in just the last 5 years are amazing!

cabin fever 08-02-2007 04:58 PM

I dont know your situation but I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at 24. Had surgery and Iodine treatment and I am healthier than ever. I wish you luck and keep the faith.

Wobble 08-02-2007 09:52 PM

GOOD NEWS

Nick is doing very well


Nick went into surgery at 8.45 and the Doctor came out at 3.45pm. She had removed a tumor that was just under the size of a baseball and that was 40% of it's original size.

The reason for the extended time in surgery was that she found the tumor partially wrapped around the nerve that goes to his left side diaphragm muscle and had to spend a lot of time carefully removing same. She said that the nerve may be in a kind of shock and that he may have difficulty breathing.

However that was not the case and he was able to breath without assistance after a short time in recovery. They only had to remove an area about 1.5" in diameter from his left lung and some of the tissue that wraps the heart.

I am in absolute awe of modern medicine and the Doctors it produces, this lady held my sons heart and lungs in her hands today.

I can not begin to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers, it was an inspiration to me and very comforting to Nick to read your posts and know that people all over the country are rooting for him.

I was also humbled to have my next door neighbour of 4 years show up at the same hospital, where his wife lost her battle with cancer to spend the day with me.

Nick was awake for about three hours and was quite lucid, he went back to sleep about 7.30. He is expected to spend 2 or 3 days in ICU and be home by next Wed or Thursday.

Isn't that incredible?

kennyo 08-02-2007 10:08 PM

I can only imagine how relieved and happy you are! Best of everything for you and your son.

Queenie 08-02-2007 10:13 PM

That's great news wobble....continued thoughts and prayers to you and yours but especially to Nick.

Donman 08-02-2007 10:15 PM

WOW !!!

Here`s to a quick recovery !

mpally 08-02-2007 11:30 PM

That's awesome! Healthcare is extremely expensive, but can you put a price on what you experienced today?

Jassman 08-03-2007 06:13 AM

Tuesday this week he went back and they did a chest x-ray and saw what they thought was an aneurysm on his heart, they sent him to the emergency room where they found a mass they are calling a tumor.

further tests have shown multiple growths or tumors on his lungs. from my reading, in the absence of the biopsy results, it seems that these growths can be things other than cancer though that is less likely.

We do know that they did not find any in any other parts of his body at this point, other than that I can not give you any more information.

Apart from 4 wheeling and boating with me, Nick has never engaged in any risky behaviors, does not smoke, do drugs etc. He is studying engineering at U of H.

I know that with modern medicine that there is all kinds of good outlooks, still I have a hard time dealing with this wait for the test results.

Thanking you in advance

Mark, your son is in our prayers.

Fred and Cynthia
