It started out as a routine check-up.
Her oncologist checked for lumps and tumors.
Found nothing.
She has had issues with her colon and so they scheduled her annual colonoscopy in 3 weeks to check things out.
They took her blood for CA-125 (ovarian cancer test) and it came back 6,000 (0-30 is normal). When they got those results they moved her colonoscopy to the next week.
That was on Wednesday (6/1).
They didn't get very far when they saw that something from the outside of the colon was pushing on it. It needed to be addressed from the outside.
So, they stopped the procedure.
Dad took her to another hospital so she could be in the care of her "miracle" surgeon, Dr. Belnap.
Dr. Belnap was the only surgeon willing to operate on mom when she was so sick and near death, 4 1/2 years ago. PTL for Belnap!!
Well, on Thursday mom was in surgery for 8 hours and a grapefruit sized tumor was removed from her colon.
She is in ICU recovering from the surgery and doing great.
She is strong!
She is amazing!
She is so beautiful!
We trust God in all things and know He has his arms tightly wrapped around mom.
Mom and her "Giving Tree"
It gives her everything she needs - liquids, food, meds etc.
Thank you for your prayers!
"Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples.
For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord."
Psalm 117:1-2
