The surgeon came in with an update.
They tried two plugs and they couldn't get the fluid from inside the cyst to come through it because it was too thick. They then tried to endoscopically to remove the cyst, which also didn't work. She then decided the bleeding was under control enough (he had a transfusion) that she could open him up. She went in and was able to take out the cyst fully, cauterize the tissue in that area and then take out more tumor.
The bad news is the recovery is now back to a week or more, which was the original plan when the day began.
He's currently undergoing another MRI and when they get the results back they will either take more out or close him up.
Well, now we know what the delay was. In my opinion it's really best case. The plug is no longer needed and they got more tumor out.
