Curtis' Surgery a Success

We just spoke with Dr. Bass moments ago and he was pleased to report that he was able to fully resect Curtis' tumor. We are so relieved to get this news. Sadly, Dr. Bass also informed us that he had to remove one of Curtis' kidneys and the surrounding lymph nodes to ensure that no remaining tumor tissue remained. Losing a kidney was not unexpected. With Neuroblastoma it is very important to get all the tumor tissue and we were made aware that it might be necessary if it meant getting all of the tumor. We are now anxiously waiting to get the call that Curtis is awake in recovery so that we can be with him.
