Day 219

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Day 219 - My mom (Judy) had been experiencing discomfort of various sorts for a few weeks.  She went to her doctor and after a few tests were performed she was admitted last Thursday in to a local hospital.  A tumor was found in her stomach and last night she was informed the tumor is most likely malignant.  The "gist" is 2-3 cm big and the surgeon feels confident that all the cancer cells are still in the gist.  A surgery will most likely be scheduled for tomorrow.  They will remove the gist as well as a large margin around it.  The concern at this point is the exact location of the tumor.  Depending on where it is will determine how extensive the surgery is and how much of her stomach they will have to remove.  

Your prayers will be of great aide.

Mom with her trusty friend "Courage"
