We met with Linda's oncologist yesterday (Michael and I). It was a much better meeting than I had feared. 3 weeks ago the word was that Linda would probably not survive thye surgery because her blood pressure was too low. She survived that. A couple of days later it was "She won't be able to get back enough strength to go through chemo". She has surprised everyone with the rapid rate of recovery. Then it was "She will need surgery to get rid of as much cancer as possible, but even as well as she's doing, surgery is out of the question". Now, r\the onc says that in Europe they have reversed things and are doing surgery after chemo, instead of before, so if she deals with the chemo and continues gaining strength, that is a possibility. Bottom line, we've gone from talk of when to take her off life support and make her last weeks as comfy as possible to cautious optimism. As hard as she is fighting, she has to deserve some breaks. Thanks to all for continued prayers and support.
