The lump is out

We just brought Isita back up to the ward from recovery. She is still sleeping but has opened her eyes a few times. No bad things happened during the surgery. She still has both her kidneys and fully functioning bowels. There was minimal bleeding; so no transfusions necessary.

The surgeon took out all of the tumour she could see. The target is to resect at least 95%. In all it is an excellent result, the best we could hope for. Now there is about a week of recovery in hospital before she can go home. So many people have sent prayers and messages of support. Thank you all.

  8. That is the most amazing news John. I can’t believe she’s had it inside her for 2 years and now it’s gone – you all must be elated and exhausted in equal measure.

    Can’t wait to catch up with you all.
