Stacey's recovering slowly but surely from the surgery... She's still undergoing a lot of tests, and is battling a lot of nausea as she resumes eating. She started back on light amounts of clear liquids yesterday (broth, juice and jello), and has spiked a fever a couple times... So far, all her tests have come back OK though.
The latest word is that she'll be released from the hospital on Tuesday or Wednesday. From home, we'll be working on getting her strength and weight back up so that she can undergo a very aggressive regimen of chemotherapy in about 2-3 weeks. She'll be undergoing the chemo every 2 weeks thereafter.
Her oncologist, according to my research, is very well-known and is one of the best in the country at what he does.
The idea is to use the chemo to fight back the cancer in her liver to the extent that somehow, hopefully, it can eventually be addressed with surgery. It's gonna be a long haul, since this type of cancer isn't really "curable" (like some other types).
But if anyone can fight back, it's Stacey. She's proving to be a real warrior.
I can't say enough good things about all the people who have sacrificed time, money and energy to come alongside us and help us through this difficult time. Your prayers and kindness are more appreciated than you'll EVER know.
