Rang P last night to see how B's surgery went. Not very much information so far, but I understand they had to remove his nose. P said that tests showed that they had got all the tumour; more test results are expected on Thursday to verify this. P said that despite being under the after-effects of anaesthetic B was alert; they are keeping him in bed until tonight at least -- visitors should be allowed from tomorrow (Wed). Be aware that the Royal Melbourne applies visiting hours fairly strictly -- P thinks that the afternoon hours are 3pm-8pm.

More as I hear it.
