Can't Stomach This

When Rhys' meningioma operation was cancelled we knew that we'd be back in Bristol with 30 days.
Just over 2 weeks ago Rhys had a MRI scan on his stomach as follow up for the Peripheral Nerve Sheaf Tumour he had removed last year.
Last Monday we received a phone call asking us to go into the hospital to see Rhys' consultant. The results of the scan had been reviewed by Bristol and the report had come back.
Chris told us that they had found a tumour, about an inch long, that needed to be removed and takes priority over the meningioma.
In the middle of the week we received a phone call from Bristol Children's Hospital with details about when Rhys would be admitted to the hospital and have his operation.
Today we have to go up to Bristol. Rhys has to be on Ward 35, which he likes the idea of, by 6pm. Once again we're staying at Sam's House.
Rhys' operation is scheduled for sometime tomorrow, at the moment we don't know what time but if last year's experience is anything to go by his surgeon will most likely want to get as early a start as possible.
At the moment we don't know what the follow-up to the surgery will be. Radiotherapy? Not sure.

Like last year we'll post updates as and when we can both here and on Facebook.
