Dear friends
Betsy's recovery from the surgery goes well. She was moved back to a regular room late yesterday afternoon and I've been with her since then. That's given us a lot of time to sort through things.
Despite a very aggressive treatment of multiple surgeries and intensive chemotherapy, Betsy's cancer just won't die.
The surgery this past Tuesday was suppose to be another HIPEC procedure which would have included Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy. When Dr. Sardi assessed Betsy's condition during surgery he removed all of the tumors that he could, but that wasn't all of the tumors. There was no benefit to doing the chemo part so so he didn't.
Right now the focus is on recovery. Betsy will start PT today which will have her walking at least one lap around the unit. Some semi solid food will be introduced into her diet and the "de-tubing" process will start as well.
We, like you, want to know what's going to happen next.....
Please keep Betsy in your thoughts and prayers and if you can spare an extra one for me and the boys that would be greatly appreciated.
Tom
