It was a rough report today. The surgeon at Geisinger Hospital met with mom today to review the biopsy results. After reviewing the results they took another more detailed catscan. This catscan revieled that the tumor is pushed up against a major artery that goes into her pancreas. Unfortunately this means, according to this surgeon, the tumor is inoperabole until its size can be reduced through chemo and radiation. The ct-scan also revealed two small but suspicious spots on her liver and one small spot on her lung. If the spots on her liver are cancerous then radiation can not be used. We need the chemo to have a strong affect on both the spots on the liver and the pancreas. If the liver spots can be reduced to nothing then radiation can be added to the treatment of the tumor in her pancreas. It will be a hard road ahead, but mom has promissed to fight and we have promised to fight right along side of her. Monday mom goes for preop at Geisinger, Danvil. Friday mom will have the liver biopsied and will have a stent put in so the newest chemo treatment can be administered directly where it needs to go. Keep praying and thanks for all the love so many of you have shown our family.
In His Hands.
