This is an update to my original posting on 3/12/08 related to my sister's diagnosis and treatment.
I am happy to report that she completed chemo in June and had surgery last week to reverse her colostomy and check for further cancer. They did a wash of her abdomen and checked the fluid and also took some lymph nodes and tested those and everything came back negative so they consider her in remission. The colostomy reversal also went fine and for the first time in nine months she feels great and has no scheduled surgeries or treatments in the near future.
We are of course hoping for the best.
Best of luck to all of you. Click here for Part One
