The best possible news

From Betty re: Kathi



"Jerry called at 5:15 and left this message ----------

Kathi is out of surgery and in recovery.  They have not seen her, but the doctor said that everything went well.  He feels that all of the cancer has been removed and that they did not have to do any re-sectioning  -------  which means that she will not have to deal with a colostomy.

He didn't know when she would be out of recovery.

 

I am beginning to cry.  I am so relieved for Kathi, for Jerry, for her children, and, selfishly, for me ---- for all of us --- her friends." 

There was, as Susie shared, "a collective sigh of relief."

Whew!  And thank you.

Surgery was a huge success. Mom did great!!!

Hello Everyone,

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.  Mom's surgery went very well.  The doctor was amazed at how much the cancer had shrunk.  He said he was able to remove all of the disease from her body.  The cancer in the liver was gone and clear of all disease, so nothing had to be done to the liver.  She lost very little blood, so there was no need for a blood transfusion.  He was impressed about how receptive she was to the chemo and as we believe, it was a combination of the chemo, essiac tea, healthy diet,
energy healing sessions and everyone's love, thoughts and prayers.  She came out of recovery looking great.  She was up and talking, but still a little drowsy from the pain meds.

Tomorrow, she will be able to get up and walk around a little bit at a time and start eating.  She is so lucky to have such great friends and family to support her through this.  We will keep you updated and she will probably be home in 3 or 4 days,  ready to chat.

Dave
