Yay! Mom was discharged from the hospital today! (Here is a pic of her riding home with my sister, Krissy) There is still no results as far as what type of cancer we are dealing with, but they felt she would be more comfortable and heal better at home. No matter what she will not start chemo for about 6 weeks because she still has some major healing to do! She is extremely happy to be headed home, and it will be easier for Dad since he will not have to drive over 1.5 hours each way to see her.
The doctors are apparently leaning towards ovarian cancer, which is a much better prognosis than gallbladder. We don't know for sure yet (and I was not there, so I do not know whay they are saying that) but they feel pretty good about the outlook for things. She is young (53), in good health and physical condition, and they think they got most of it out (except the whole gallbladder thing, which they are counting on chemo to shrink so they can remove it safely.)
You could pray for Dad...we are not sure if he cought a flu, if it is stress, or a combo of things, but he has been thowing up and pretty sick! He couldn't even work today.
Thanks for your prayers, and we will continue to keep you updated!!
