Fran update: Her surgery went well on the 8th. Although the OR was running about 2 hrs behind before they got to her. The surgeon removed her left adrenal gland a spleen as a precaution. Great margins! Final pathology report on the tumor showed benign instead of malignant as was indicated on the earlier needle biopsy. The Drs. said this can happen due to the very small sample size of the needle biopsy. You will have a hard time convincing us that it didn't have a lot to do with everyone's prayers & kind supportive thoughts! Once again we can never thank you enough. Please know that we are here for whatever support we can give should any of you have a time of need. We got her back to rehab in Las Cruces on Wednesday. Hopefully back home & in the Newell in just a few weeks now.
