This is Peter at approximately 5:30 on Friday, the day of her surgery.
Great news! Caryn came through the surgery with flying colors!! We just spoke to Dr. Pommier and the surgery was very successful.
He was able to find the primary tumor in the tail of the Pancreas which is very important. However she will need to have another surgery to remove the tail and neck of the Pancreas and the spleen. But that will be in 3 or 4 months after she's fully recovered from this surgery.
Dr P was also able to remove at least 90% of the tumors in both lobes of the liver!! This is great news! He also had to remove the gall bladder which is standard for NET patients. Plus Caryn did not lose any blood.
All in all, it has been a very successful procedure. Thank you all so much for your love, kind words of support, your thoughts and prayers. Our prayers have been answered!
Great News !!!!
ReplyDeletePeter, thanks for keeping us updated. How long will she be at OHSU & can she have visiters?
