Tom Farrell Surgery-update
Hi Everyone:
This is the latest update on my prostate surgery, the doctor removed the catherer (what a relief). In my first report I said I was cancer free, well the doctor won't know for sure for another 3 weeks until he gets the pathology report. Keep me in your prayers and hope for the best.

Message from Tom Farrell
Hi Everyone:
My surgery went extremely well, lasted approximately 5 hours. They removed the prostate and did a hernia repair. I am cancer free hopefully, since nothing was found any where else. The hospital staff of all the doctors, nurses, etc did a wonderful job. The nurses on my floor were very attentive, understanding, etc
Nancy spent the night right next to me and is now my nurse/doctor for my recovery period. I am not allowed to drive until I see the doctor next week and my activities are limited right now. Thank you for all the prayers, phone calls and cards. You lifted my spirits very high. Hope to see you soon.
