Shelb's phone call 12.30.2009 @ 1830

I just spoke with Shelb and he said an oncologist came in that is in the group with the oncologist that we have been speaking with "goldkline"(don't know if that's spelled right or not) . Anyway, he stated that he has had a patient that had a tumor bigger than shelb's and had it removed at Piedmont/Fayette and said if it turns out to be a particular kind (shelb nor his friend) remembered the particular type that he needs to have it removed along with the gall bladder and followed by the pill (i am assuming the chemo pill) to make sure all of it gets gone! And if it's not that particular kind to have it removed with the gall bladder - regardless if it is sarcoma my understanding is that they need to be removed all together.

He also stated this is a very serious surgery and he needs to choose his doctor carefully. So we will probably get with Dr. Burrowes as soon as we get the results and letting us know the final outcome and what kind of tumor it is. The final report will hopefully be done as early as Thursday and as late as Monday. (if we are lucky) Keep praying... We love you all! I will be going for visiting hours @ 2000 hrs. I will post another blog when I get home. He sounded great on the phone and said he had been sitting up for about 2-2 1/2 hours in a chair. Greatly appreciate each and every one of you. Special appreciation to Gina for setting up the blog site! :) We love you!
