I've seen an MD Anderson dermatologist who has put me on a good course to relieve the rashes, and they have gotten a little better. Then yesterday I had a CT Scan to see what has happened with the tumor and if surgery can happen.
This morning I had an appointment with my surgeon to see the results. Kathy and my daughter Kara were there too. He gave us the good news that the tumor has actually shrunk a little due to the radiation and that he wants to do the Whipple surgery on Thursday next week.
So in six days I'll be having the Whipple surgery which will remove the tumor, the gall bladder, part of the pancreas, and part of the small intestine. Maybe more. Then hope to be home in November. We are all grateful for this new turn of events.
God bless you all for your thoughts and continued prayers!
