Results and surgery date

We called Jessica's doctor Monday morning and she said she say the ct scan and everything looked good. She couldn't exactly give us measurement because they still had not done a report on it.So she said she would send her test to the surgeon and he would give us a call. We then got a call about 4:30 pm from the surgeon out in sunset. He said everything looks good that he only sees a little spot on her left kidney and he still sees quite a few on her right. So what he plans on doing is going in and taking the one tumor out of her left and then removing half of her right kidney . We have a pre op appointment on May 4Th so we can think of lots of questions to ask then so if you guys can think of any feel free to call me and I can right them down because it could be something we forget to ask.He said they would be going in the same spot they did he biopsy but making it a little bigger. He also said she would probably be there for about five days to recuperate. Her surgery date is May 8Th some time in the afternoon.It will be at Kaiser in Sunset with Dr. Lee.He didn't know if she would need more chemo after surgery or if she does he will let us know after surgery because he's going to have a better idea after he's gone in and actually seen everything.Please keep praying we really appreciate it and we will keep you all posted.

Hi Laura and Richard,

My church friends and I have been praying for baby Jessica before, during and after her scheduled surgery of May 8th. I have been very sick with a cold so I haven't walked over to your house to see you in person. I am very anxious to find out how Jessica is doing since her surgery. I pray for her everyday and also for you and Richard and the enitire family. I can't wait to see you when I feel better and hope you post her surgery results. Know that God is with you all. Love, your neighbor, Cathy
