Update on my Mom

in Colorectal Cancer #1
Well we met with her specialist yesterday, he will be performing the surgery on Easter Monday.
Left hemicolectomy, with no need at this time for a colostomy but if that changes during the surgery it would be temporary.

Her dx is; N1 T3 M0 IIIB

He said 2 lymph nodes were enlarged and would be able to tell further what's what during the surgery.

We're not sure what the prognosis is or if even one can be made, we're just trying to get through one day at a time and learn as much as we can.

Showed Mom the board yesterday, she will join in the coming days.

Thanks again for all your support,

Miriam
