thanks guys. i appreciate all this. so i got news from my mom...apparently everything went fine in surgery and now he's in intensive care for a few days i guess so that they can keep close tabs on him. there not really going to know anything for the next couple of days till the doctor, i dont know the type of doctor, discects the tumor and diagnoses what exactly it is. So so far he's doing well, i hope that it keeps getting better. again thanks to you all. means a lot.
