This morning we had the consult with the surgeon that will do the laparoscopy tomorrow scheduled for 10:15. She will check for cancer cells around the area and stage the tumor. She decided along with us not to put in the feeding tube as Jim is still able to eat and it can easily get infected, leak etc... If at a later date he needs it we can have a Dr in our area put it in.
The tumor is 13 cm long. It is mostly in the stomach and has grown up into the esophagus a little.
Please be praying for tomorrow that all cancer cells are only in the tumor and have not spread to the stomach walls.
A huge praise is the Dr's have went above and beyond to get us worked in in a short amount of time!!! We have been extremely blessed to have connections to make this all happen!!
