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.
