As many of you already know, we have had a very hard month. My grandmother, MeMe, had been having some problems with her stomach all summer that the doctors were trying to "fix" with medicine. Thank Goodness...she took control and made them do a colonoscopy b/c she knew something wasn't right. My parents were in Alaska at the time so I gladly took MeMe to her dr. appt. to get the results from the test. Well, I have to say it was worse than the worse case scenario. They found out that MeMe has a tumor the size of a softball in her pelvis which was been causing all of her stomach pain. She has had an MRI, CAT scan, and several other tests done since then and they said that they are 98% sure that it is ovarian cancer. To make a long story short, she is having surgury today at Chapel Hill. They are removing the tumor, most likely giving her a complete hysterectomy, and possibly removing some of her colon. They will know what is REALLY going on when they get in there today. Please pray that this is contained and will be removed from her body today free and clear. MeMe is being so brave...she always has been a tough cookie! During this very unnerving time, I have gotten to spend a lot of time with my grandmother with has been such a blessing. She is truly a special woman. All she wants is to get back on the golf course as soon as possible! Let's pray that those people at Chapel Hill aren't as bad as we usually say they are...Ha Ha...(we are NCSU people and my uncle is the soccer coach at Duke!)
