Post Surgery Report 2/6/12

Sheila’s surgeon, Dr. Oberg, met with me at about 10:00 am.  He reported that the surgery went as well as could be expected.  They were able to complete the surgery through a smaller laparoscopic incision (from what he told me maybe 3 inches and I have not seen it yet).  As far as could be determined by visual inspection, the removed parts of the colon and lymph nodes looked normal (except for the main cancer mass).  The liver looked normal as well.  This is as good of news as we could have hoped for at the end of the surgery!  It appears that our prayers may have been answered! 

The pathology report on the biopsies of the removed lymph nodes will be the real test now.  The results of these should be available about Thursday 2/9.

This is wonderful news for us.  Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers! The response from our friends and family has been overwhelming. Thanks are not enough, but it is a start.  Please know that we are grateful for all of you!
