julie is out of surgery and ok. she did really well according to dr allred, her surgeon. he removed a very very large mass that was intertwined with her ovary and her colon. it was larger than he had anticipated from the imaging. however, he got all of it removed, including the ovary, he repaired 2 small places where it had damaged her large and small intestine, and got her all put back together with minimal blood loss and flying colors. he is referring to the mass as "a cyst" for now, it will be sent off to pathology to find out if there are any cancerous cells. there was a lot of blood in the cyst, but he was unable to determine what caused that. he checked the liver, colon and the nearby lymph nodes which he determined to be all clean which is a great sign. he is predicting a shorter hospital stay based on how well she did during surgery. let's pray for everything to come back clean so no chemo!!!! but overall she is doing well and as of 5pm this is what i know... more info to come. thank you ALL for you continuous prayer support. i will keep you posted - tobra
