Surgery did not go well today. As the doctor opened my mom up he said there were no clear margins . The cancer cells were to wide spread so he closed my mom back up. Chemo is the only hope to try and stop the spreading. A few Chemo treatments will be tried to see if my mom responds to it. We are so sad and upset but we will not give up hope.
