Well, mom is okay and stable, but the surgery did not go according to plan. When they looked at her brain, they were able to see quite a bit of microscopic tumor. So much so that they decided that surgery was not the cure we thought it would be. Now it's a whole different game. Basically, they want her to try chemo again. That's really her only option at this point. We're all very disappointed. Dad said the surgeons were so disappointed too.
It's not the best news, of course, but it's not the worst. Please keep mom in your thoughts today. She needs to heal from this as quickly and as well as possible so they can start chemo. She will probably be in the hospital the rest of the week and perhaps the weekend. Then they estimated two weeks to recover and back on the chemo regimen. They may try different drugs that are designed especially for the brain. There are a lot of unknowns again. As always, I'll keep you posted.
We're so sorry to hear the news. It's not what we all wanted to hear, yet it certainly could've been worse...
