10 hour surgery, couldn't get at tumour

tyler update, via vivian, 11 pm et: surgery lasted close to 10 hours. The tumour bled a couple of times during the surgery and they had to stop, once to do CT scan. They only managed to get a couple small pieces of the tumour. Surgery is no longer a option to remove the tumour, the risk of it bleeding is too high. Now another wait and see, what type of tumour it is and to fight it.


via rev marg:Tyler survived a 10 hour surgery today. They were not able to take the tumor out. They did get a small piece of it and will send it off for testing - won't know much for a week. 3 months, 3 surgeries, and they still do not know what it is. They may try radiation next.
