Wednesday evening

Martijn the day before surgery.

Martijn came through over eight hours of surgery well, with a strong heart and vital signs. When Suze and Martijn’s mother and brother visited him in recovery this evening, he was smiling and told them he was ready to begin his new life. That is the good news. But the tumor was much larger than the surgeons expected, and they were unable to remove all of it. We expect to learn more tomorrow about the extent of the remaining cancer, and the options for its treatment. We will post more information as soon as we can. In the meantime, thank you all for continuing to send your love and support.
