The last 36 hours have been a crazy blur and we're going on a few short hours of sleep. We're waiting to get checked in for his surgery. Surgery is supposed to start at 7:30. They are anticipating 4-5 hours. 

For anyone who missed my last update my husband Rob is having a Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection (RPLND) to remove any remaining cancer after 4 rounds of chemo. Feel free to look up the surgery. It's a very serious surgery and his is especially tougher due to the location of his cancer. It's located between his Aorta artery and major kidney vessels. It's harder after chemo since they have scar tissue to deal with. 

Please pray for our family. Especially for Rob. He's having a tough time with this surgery. We are so thankful our boys are at home with Rob's mom. That way I can be at the VA waiting. 

We appreciate all of the love and support. For anyone wanting to help our family through Rob's cancer journey we have Venmo @RobDaniDean (code 6544) or https://gofund.me/f72db638. We greatly appreciate everyone who has already helped our family.
