Tonight at 10pm I got a call from my family informing me that they finally talked to the surgeon and she is extremely pleased with outcome of the surgery. She did say that there was more tumor than expected, but she said that it still seems to be non-malignant (non cancerous). Earlier this year, her tumor was upgraded from a grade 2 to a 3 (out of 4) but the doctor said that after looking at it, she didn’t think it was a 3, but only a 2. Overall, it’s a good…no GREAT report. The surgery took an unbelievable 7+ hours. As I write, she’s in intensive care and will be until tomorrow. They expect that she’ll be able to go home to Oregon on Monday or Tuesday. They also expect to get results back from the biopsy around the same time which will confirm that the tumor is or isn’t cancerous.

Thank you SO MUCH for all of your prayers and support today.
