Hi there all. Lisa and I are in San Diego, preparing for her tumor debulking surgery on Friday by Dr. Lowy at UCSD La Jolla. Hopefully everything will go well, and we both have the utmost confidence in him. He is going to debulk three visible tumors from her CT scan, and take out part of the right lobe of her liver where there is another one growing. Hopefully that is all that he will find when he gets inside her. If all goes according to plan, she will be in intensive care for a couple of days, and then be in the hospital for about another week. Here's keeping the fingers crossed. Please keep her in your prayers on Friday, and I will keep everyone posted here on the board. Stay strong Mike
