Surgery Day

Julie's surgery went very well; both her surgeons seemed pleased. (Joe and I told them that they are our Gold Medal Dream Team.) There were no big bad surprises and they got all the visible cancer.  An intraperitoneal port was put in her abdomen; this will deliver a more aggressive chemo than she had last time.  Her outlook is very good.  Truly this is an answer to prayer. She will probably start chemo in three to four weeks.   When I saw Julie this afternoon, she was obviously wiped out  but was alert and coherent; hopefully she'll sleep tonight.
