Updated Prognosis
Enrique's prognosis remains good.
The surgeon removed 27 lymph nodes. The pathology report showed that 19 of them were cancerous.
Apparently, that's quite common and doesn't really effect his prognosis.
Of the 19, one of them had cancer that was beginning to spread beyond the node. That's not good. But the fact that there was only one in that condition is good.
So, it's mixed news, but mostly good.
He'll need to get regular scans and blood tests for the rest of his life to be safe.
