Dear Friends,

My sister's doctor just called me a short time ago. She was in surgery

for

quite a while. He said they were not able to remove all of the tumor

because it was wrapped around some of the blood vessels going to the

small intestine. If they had tried to remove it then she wouldn't have

any function in the small intestine. He said they took out what they

could and repaired the small intestine where it had perforated and

twisted.

He did say she will have to have chemo. It wasn't a carsonoma or a

lymph node cancer. It is something rare and they don't have the

pathology report back yet to identify what type it is. He expects she

can come home in a week to 10 days.

I am relieved that the surgery is over. He said they are still treating

the peritonitis with antibiotics.

Just wanted to update you on how things are going. I was hoping for

more positive results, but I am thankful that they were able to get all

that they did and that with chemo she may do OK.

I went over to Walla Walla yesterday and brought her dog and cat home

with me. She was so worried about them. The dog had been at the kennel

and he was glad to get out. He isn't eating, and that has me

concerned. I am sure this is stressful for him. The cat is doing OK.

We haven't introduced her to my other 4 cats and probably won't. She is

content in a room in the basement. The dog has attached himself to my

hip and follows me all over the house. He's a springer spaniel and

quite big. Last night was the first time in my life I've slept in a

room with a dog, so that will take some getting used to.

I thank you all for your prayers and ask that you continue to pray for

her.

Love, Marilyn
