The surgeon just called this morning to discuss what they found. Out of 15 lymph nodes that were removed, two of them were discovered to have cancer cells. We were really hoping for all of them to be clear, but not so. We go from here back to oncology to find out the next step. They have already mentioned additional surgeries to try and capture all the cancer cells they possibly can. We will know more this week as we go back for more visits to the doctors in Tyler. Thank you so very much for all your prayers and concerns. Steps forward seem to be harder to accomplish than steps back. We’re hoping for a good news day soon. Knowing that folks are lifting us up makes a huge difference in our recovery. God bless you all.
