Test Update

Well, the surgeon called me today (directly and on a Saturday!) and told me the biopsy sample at least did not show cancer.

But, of course they recommend surgery to remove the tumor due to its size and its "communication" with the rest of the pancreas and the likelihood that it will sooner or later become malignant.  They will do a laparascopy as much as that is possible, hopefully for the whole operation. I expect to be in the hospital 5 to 8 days and be recuperating for about six weeks.

This all isn't as bad a report as it could have been, so far.

Thanks so much for your continuing prayers for me and the rest of my family and I will let you know the date of the surgery.

Love,
Della
