Home for Two Weeks Today

I have been feeling well and out walking on most days. My mother was with me for a week, and I have had help in the afternoons. The weather has been quite nice and condusive to being outside. Other than a sore belly, I feel fine. Friends have been providing wonderful dinners and comfort for me. The pathology report showed that one of the growths was cancerous and the other was not. There was no evidence of spread to lymph glands or anywhere else. It was a big surgery, to remove a little bit of disease. I will meet with my doctor at Dana Farber on 12/1 to determine the next step. I hope to next publish good news.Meanwhile, have a happy Thanksgiving with family!

Home from the Hospital

I am home from the hospital and doing quite well. I have had 2 walks today outside.
Thanks for all your well-wishing.
Maura

Successful Surgery

Many thanks for all the kind messages. The surgery was successful. Other than the cysts there was no other evidence of a recurrence of the disease. They were removed without damage to anything else. Chris Awtry had to work long and hard to achieve this result. We are very grateful to him. This should keep Maura in remission. The patient is already plotting her escape from the hospital. She will start walking tonight, by the morning it will probably be hard to keep up with her. Catch her if you can!
