After the 12 pm update, the nurse said I should go to lunch. So, imagine my stress level when I was called on my cell phone and told the doctor wanted to talk to me. They put me and my sister in a consult room. Five years ago, I was sent to another consult room to be told my husband had incurable cancer. Today. after waiting ??? felt like 30 minutes, the doctor came to tell me there was tumor that did not show up on the scans and couldn't be completely removed. It is actually growing into his lower back. They scraped out all they could and came to ask my permission to do radiation intraop. This won't cure him, but he will keep some of his bladder and have a reversible ostomy and live to fight another day.

Hang in there Sheila! If anyone can turn this into a miracle recovery, it's Mark. Take good care of him and get him back to us as soon as you can. We want to wrap him up with our healing blanket of love. I hope you know it was a full dock of love this morning at sunrise. I just kept thinking, everything is waiting for Mark to come home.
Sheila and Mark -
I didn't make the wonderful Dock experience this morning - but was thinking of you and sending positive thoughts and wishes while I walked BJ this morning. I was thinking of Einstein also - I know he is missing you guys like crazy!
Hang in there and thank you so much for these updates - I know hard it is for all of us to have you so far away during this time, but to be able to check in and get this updates makes me feel like we are all able to help you and send our love to you during this long day!
Love,
Hazel
I know this is easier said than done, but hang in there. Much love to you both.
Sheila
I am sorry to hear that. I know you both see this as one more obstacle to overcome. Mark has too much living to do to let this slow him down. Mark will show them what can be done to cancer. Much love and prayers.
"Tikkun Olam" (pronunced "tee-koon o-lom) for Repairing the World, i.e., making the world a beter place now, for the people in it, now. It is a tenet of Judaism, and to me, Mark fulfills the requirrement of "Tikkun Olam" simply by being who he is.
Therefore, I believe that whoever the ruler of the Universe is will save Mark in return. He has given so much already.
Love,
Nina
