This email reports Bill's status following his operation.
Bill has made it thru surgery. He has had a muscle removed along with thyroid gland, lymph nodes and jugular vein. He will possibly need intense physical therapy for his shoulder due to one nerve that was moved around during surgery. He will start iodine radiation therapy for 4-6 weeks. Then a scan will be done to see If and WHERE else the cancer has spread. He does have his voice box. His hospital stay will last 2-7 days depending on drainage tubes in his neck. He will remain in AZ for at least a couple of months.
Let's keep Bill Freeman and his family in our thoughts and prayers. Bill and Patsy have taken quite a beating on these forums and I think it's fair we pray for his physical health to return.
