Update & THANKS!!!

Just got back from the hospital, things are going very well. Marci moved out of the ICU to the Neuro ward, they're doing a great job of pain management, tomorrow she goes for a walk. The Dr said she could go home as early as this weekend! (I think that's rushing it, but the progress has been amazing!). Haven't gotten the full report yet, but my understanding is that the tumor was benign, a highly calcified meningioma, 95-99% was removed and the likelyhood of recurrence is very remote.

Again, I thank you all for your continued support, all the prayers and good thoughts have created so much positive energy, we truly are in the hands of the Lord. Thanks, again & God bless! M2
 
From the spouce of a cancer survivor to another, you both have a long road in front of you. I have sat and waited on the surgery and have seen what 6 monthes of chemo can do to a person. All I can tell you is to be strong and patient. Email me if you want.

Best, Johnboy
 
Johnboy - Small point(& one to be greatful for) the tumor was a meningioma (2/3 of the victims are women), benign and highly calcified, with no vascularization (no blood feeding it). While it was life threatening, the surgeon is of the opinion that it shouldn't be a problem again in her lifetime. While we dodged the cancer thing, there is a bunch of rehab/therapy in the next few months, but this is light work in the grand scheme of things (dang, I gots to work out with my wife-).

Thanks again for all your prayers and support, all I can say is Yeeeeeee-Haaaaaaaaa!M2
