We just found out that Rebekah is going to have another surgery. It is scheduled for Oct. 21 Thursday. I have not spoken with her doctor yet so that is about all I know. Please keep praying hard for her. She has been through so much. I will keep you posted as I can if there is anything to tell.
I just spoke with Rebekah's doctor. There is a little area of tumor left between the vancava (not sure what that is) and the aorta right below the liver. It is about a three quarters of an inch round . They said it may be dead tissue due to the fact that it has not gotten any smaller since her last catscan in mid September. He said there could be few cancer cellls still in there, but they are not for sure. It looks like a safe operation though!
The vena cava is one of two large veins returning blood from the peripheral circulation to the right atrium of the heart. The tumor is between the vena cava and the aorta below the liver
