now i hear another doc at the same grim clinic looked at his charts and said it was a mild case that likely would have passed on its own. so it wasn't a ball of tin foil, or jewelry lodged inside, it was a ring from the intestinal re-sectioning from his rope toy extraction surgery, and the lump on his pancreas was not the cancer we were led to believe, and he didn't have to be cut open and explored and we didn't have to mourn his demise and have the confusing verdict of life when it was the surgery he survived.
