GOOD NEWS: Mom's surgery is complete! And done in half the time estimated! She's in post-op recovery, so we haven't seen her yet. Just kickin' it in the waiting area until they let us in to see her.
According to Dr. Lim's report, he stated that he's confident 90% of the detectable cancer in mom's abdominal area has been removed. The procedure went smoothly with no complications or hold ups. The partial colectomy was also successful and he foresees no need for a colostomy. He noted again that chemotherapy treatment will be necessary and to expect at least 10 days of monitored recovery in hospital.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement today!
More to follow in the morning. Goodnight All!
