August 16, 2019 Update

The surgery is complete and it went very well. The surgeon, Dr. Wall, went in thoracoscopically so it was minimally invasive. Rucker is in the recovery room now and we should be in the hospital for a couple of days.

We will now await the testing that we are having done on this tumor to determine what potential treatment options we have from here. The testing should take roughly three weeks.

Thank you you for all of the prayers and well wishes!
