I've received an update and jolted down some notes.. sorry if they're really quick.
Strafer was brought into the operating room this morning, as they needed to relieve the pressure and work on the tumour since he was deteriorating. In fact, his right side had become paralized from this.
In a nutshell:
- removed burst tumour
- removed other "abnormal tissues" as well
- he seems to have regained control of right side based on some reflexes he's demonstrated
- traces of cancer discovered in his left arm
- waiting for him to regain consciousness.
- doctors satisfied with the operation
The unfortunate side is that aggressive chemotherapy has to begin immediately. As it is, he may only have less than a year tops to live unless the cancer is put into remission. I hope that when he's lucid that he doesn't mind me having posted these intimate details.. but I'll be happy to face that.
