International radio cricket broadcaster and sports journalist Sean Devers is set to undergo surgery on his brain today at noon at the St. Clair Medical Centre in Trinidad.
Devers met with his doctor, Robert Ramcharan in Port-of-Spain yesterday.
Devers is expected to spend two days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and another five days in hospital before a recovery period of about three months, one of which will be spent in Trinidad for observation.
Devers, a father of three has a brain tumor which will be tested for cancer this week following the four-hour surgery.
The former Guyana youth cricketer said he would like to thank all who contributed to the US$25,000 cost for the surgery.
He also said he would like to thank his mother, son Ricardo and other family members and friends for their support.
According to Devers, the estimated US$10,000 for post surgery expenses has been almost reached from donations from well wishers including those in Trinidad.
Radio shows and telethons were done for Devers in Barbados, Guyana and Trinidad. Dr Rambaran said that weakness to his right side and a 10% chance of his speech being affected should be the main side effects of the removal of the level one tumor which is causing seizures and headaches for Devers since last December.
“God is a mighty God and I put my life in his hands as I go into surgery tomorrow (today). I know I will be a testimony to his power when all of this is over and be a stronger and better person,” Devers said from Trinidad yesterday.
Updates on Devers’ condition will be posted on his Facebook page and the Sean Devers Brain Fund Facebook page which was set up from New York.
Devers’ son Ricardo is also with him in Trinidad.
