10 hours under the knife but he's awake now and already charming the nurses
Hi all,
We've just returned from the Intensive Treatment Unit of the Royal Free, where dad is recuperating; groggy, slightly shell-shocked but mentally engaged and happy to see friendly faces. After a very stressful evening of endless waiting and pinning our hopes on 'just another 10/30/60/120 minutes', he finally emerged from theatre and we finally got in to see him. We were all hugely relieved to find that the person we know and love is still alive and kicking even if his body is a little bit different from the one that went in this morning. The operation was complicated by the fact that the inflammation of the pancreas was worse than expected, making it difficult to distinguish between malignant and inflamed tissue. Despite this the surgeons were pleased with the outcome. There is still a long and difficult road ahead, but it feels like we're over one of the major hurdles today. Thank you all for your love and ongoing support,
Jesse, Jane and Briony.
