We just found out Iva will need more surgery tomorrow. The thoracic surgeon and a nuerosurgeon will go and remove a larger area of her chest wall and the two affected ribs. That is all we know for now. No word on pathology, but this must mean they didn't get a wide enough area. We have previously read that for sarcoma, it is imperative to get a wide excision for greater chance of success. Poor Iva. This is heartbreaking, really.
My heart goes out to you all. I've been thinking and praying for you and Iva and will keep on doing so.
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for strength for all of you, especially Iva, and for guidance for the surgeons' hands tomorrow.
