A lot has happened since the last I posted here. My wife was having some health problems and had gone to the doctor a few times. Ran some tests etc. and did a sonigram. Found that her Gall Bladder was enlarged and was full of thick mucus. So they decided to operate and remove the gall bladder. When they started the operation they fond that it wasn't just the gall bladder that was causing her the sickness and pains. She had ovarian cancer.
I can not tell you the feelings I had the day the surgeon came and told me about it. He told me that I should wait until the next day to tell Pam though. He set a appointment for the next day and in about an hour Pam came to the recovery room. That day and night was the longest I have ever lived. I finally told her all about it while we were driving to the doctor appointment. At least I gave her one more day without knowing - one more happy day.
The doctor said that through sugery we could get the bulk of the mass out and then chemotherapy should put it all into remission. He didn't give us months but said that we should have years still.
The surgery went well and they did get most of the cancer removed. The surgeon said that there was sand sized spots here and there but that it should be taken care of with the chemo. I am sure hoping so. We go back to the cancer specialist on April 7th. I don't know what the future holds now but it will definently be different that what we had planned.
