Andrea

I'm sorry for the delay on updating on Andrea. It's been a long week with all that's going on. Your more likely to always find a update on her carepage that I update every time I get news. The site is www.carepages.com but this is a direct link:

Andrea had surgery#7 Thursday to remove a bump on the back of her lower left head. It was cancer. They have also said they have now found a lesion in her shoulder that they believe to also be cancer and they are biopsying that on Monday. They also believe the cancer has spread to her spine, at least the cervical spine(neck). That's all they have films of at this time. She is scheduled for more spine and body scans on Monday. The spine is inoperable so most likely route will be chemotherapy and possible radiation. Nothing is set in stone yet as they wait to do the biopsy and scans, and from those results they will come up with course of action. As of now Andrea is still at IU Hospital in Indianapolis. She will be there at least till Monday for testing, but nobody knows after that. I'll let you know the results when they come in. Meanwhile please pray for her and her family. Thanks.

Oh my goodness. She will be in my constant prayers. Such a strong woman. Such a fighter. Offering my prayers and help doesn't seem like enough, but if you know of something we can do, please let us know!
