Guest guest Posted April 6, 2001 Report Share Posted April 6, 2001 Please pass along to Gloria that she will be in my prayers, all things happen for a reason..we are not to question only to accept & follow path provided. What a blessing that the doctor did all that the pre-op exam & testing--just imagine the trauma of the surgery recuperation on top of the treatment for cancer--would have probably been too much for Glorias body.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2001 Report Share Posted April 6, 2001 : Please assure Gloria that Joy and I are praying for her full recovery from the cancer. Our hearts go out to her and would really appreciate your keeping us posted if Gloria feels uncomfortable posting herself. This sort of thing sort of brings things into perspective for me. Regards.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Dave, Glo's husband called today and said that the surgeon got 2 tumors and the total thyroid removed. He said that it looks good! The next step will be radiation. I guess they will also try to find out about the mass in the kidney too. Will keep everyone up to date!
