News from the surgeon

Mom spoke with Dr. Ott (the surgeon) this morning. He reviewed the PET scan and said it all looks good. The tumor has shrunk to the point they will be able to do surgery. He likes to wait for 5 or 6 weeks from the time she finished radiation. So we are looking at another 3 or 4 weeks before she goes to the hospital. All in all, things look good and are still progressing. I think waiting is a good thing. This will allow mom to regain her strength and really have her body ready to withstand such an intrusive operation.
