While we've been enjoying our times at home, we got a call from a nurse at QMH around noon today telling us to come in to the hospital this afternoon as surgery has been scheduled to Adrian next Monday!!! We were in total shock.... though we'd love to get the tumors removed for Adrian ASAP but the fact that we still haven't even talked to the surgeons yet not to mention his counts are still recovering - we felt that the surgery was simply lack of planning. We arrived at QMH later to the Paedi Surgical Ward instead of our usual Oncology Ward and met with the surgeons and the anaesthetist. The surgery is considered as "ultramajor" in scale (because it involves adrenal gland, pancreas & liver) and will last approx. 6 hours. Doctor has prescribed Adrian GCSF shot daily until Monday to boost up his Neutrophils level.
