The doctors did laperoscopic surgery and used ultrasound to guide them while they took several biopsies. They looked at the biopsies in the operating room and did not see any evidence of cancer. They assume that the activity they saw on the CAT scan was inflammation from the radiation he got last fall. They will send the biopsies to be further analyzed by the pathologists. I was told there is still a 5-10 % chance that they will find cancer in those cells. The other good news is that they took a tour of his abdomen while they were in there and saw no other evidence of cancer cells.
He will spend tonight in the hospital and tomorrow will come home. He will take at least a couple of days to recuperate at home.
Thank you everyone for your support -- it makes such a difference knowing you are all out there cheering and praying for him.
