UNC Chapel Hill Mar 05

Today we went to UNC Chapel Hill to see Patrick’s surgeon. We woke up at 4 am and had to drive 3.5 hrs. Patrick will have his surgery Monday, March 22nd at UNC. They will do a 10 cm incision and will take the tumor out to send in for biopsy. They will put in a Stainless Steel plate and 3 screws to stabilize the rest of the bone. There won’t be much left of a bone in his leg of the area below the hip and upper leg and they will put in a Synthetic Bone Marrow. The doctors believe it’s benign, but we won’t know for sure until it’s send in. Thank you al so much for your prayers. Keep praying.
