On November 15 our Brother, good friend and PSD Dave Denton had surgery at River Bend Hospital in Eugene to remove the large tumor in and around his stomach area.
Joyce has informed us that, "the surgery was a success and the Doctor felt confident he got it all". To get it all...they had to take half his stomach, much of his pancreas and his spleen.
Dave came home on Thanksgiving day. Joyce is happy with Dave's progress but its going to be a long hard road to recovery. Please keep Dave and Joyce in your prayers.
