Grandma Wave Update

Well, I talked to Grandma Wave (Lanny's mom in Oklahoma) this afternoon. The scan showed that the cancer had not spread anywhere but the tumor. Praise God. She had to make a choice of surgery or not. Without it... she would only live about year. To have it they would remove most of her stomach. A neurosurgeon would be assisting to check and make sure they are getting it all out around the edges etc.... They will do no chemo because it is ineffective against this kind of cancer. So they basically would HAVE to make sure they got it all out. If they succeed she could have many more years ahead of her. She would be in the hospital for 7-10 days and be sent home with a feeding tube so she would need home health to be there. The feeding tube would be removed once she starts eating. It will be about 1 and 1/2 months before she will be up and around. The surgery is Monday. She is a very strong and determined woman. She is one of my favorite people and I hold her up there on a pedestal. She is one of my hero's. Please pray for her as she waits this week end. Also pray for her, the surgeons, and everyone involved on Monday. Thank you so much! She feels the prayers and so do we!
