My mom had her surgery last Tuesday. Today it has been a week!
Way to go Mom!!
They removed 60% of the tumor. They knew from the beginning that they wouldn't be able to remove all of it. We all knew that as well, but I think all of us was thinking that maybe the doctors would be wrong and get the whole thing. It is okay though! 60% of a tennis ball is pretty good I think!
She wasn't in the hospitalt to long, she came home FRIDAY! I was shocked by this! I thought Brain Surgery, at least a week or two stay! But the doctor said that she would have more of a chance catching an infection in the hospital then she would at home. It makes perfect sense when you think of it!
Next step?
Well, the next step is the tumor has been shipped off to some people that will test the tumor to see if the Tumor is High Grade Cancer or Low Grade Cancer. If is a high grade she will then have to go through the whole Chemo and Radation. And if it is a low grade then she will have to take pills for the rest of her life and the doctors will moniter the tumor thorugh annually MRI's.
We as a family are really thankful for the prayers, food, flowers, and the love! You truly find out who your true friends are when stuff like this happens! Please don't stop praying!
I will try to keep this updated!
