    Tuesday at 5:30AM I have to be at KU hospital in Kansas City.
    5 surgeons will work on me.
    My right eye has to go and then cancer that has pushed the eye out of my head and taken up lots of space in my head gets removed along with a good sized piece of my skull.
    Then the cancer that has invaded my brain sack and latched onto my brain gets removed and the brain sack gets closed back up.
    Then titanium mesh will be used to replace the missing piece of skull.
    Skin from my wrist will be used to replace the skin removed from my head and then skin from my thigh will patch the wrist.
    Last but not least the lymphnode channel on the right side of my neck will be removed.
    my hospital stay will be about a week.

    will a little luck you will hear from me after the surgery.

    All the best to you and yours and may the guiding hand from the man above guide the hands of your doctors. Sounds lilke your 'make over' requires lots of steps and we look forward to hearing from you in a week or 10 days. Do what the doctors say and don't try to rush the recovery.
