> Hello,
>
> My name is Meg Wall and my mother, Ellen,age 67, is recovering from
> surgery for a large (the size of a large brain) tumor in her abdomen.
> Her tumor appears to have started from a fallopian tube and the broad
> ligament . Surgery was surprisingly simple with a possible small
> satallite attached to the periteneum. The tumor was not attached
> anywhere else and it is graded as a high grade leiomyosarcoma. Because
> of insurance we are allowed one other consult and we are going to Denver
> today to see an onocologist. Hopefully, he will have more data regarding
> leiomyosarcoma. Here in Colo. Springs the onocologist told Mom that he
> has had two other patients with this and chemo was the treatment and then
> he elaborated about how well an elderly althzheimer's female patient
> responded to chemo. Oh well, I suppose if Mom goes in for a labotomy,
> then chemo should do quite well for her also. We also don't know if the
> two patients are still alive or how long have they lived after the
> diagnosis.
> I am not on the internet at home and my husband, Byron, found your web
> page and printed your article and two others for me. How are you doing
> and do you know how Sarah R. Fulkes is doing?
> I would love more info and or current research. Thank you for your
> testimony. My mother is not a Christian and she is very kindly yeilding
> to our Christian ways of ministering to her, whereas she has always been
> hostile toward Jesus. May the Lord be honored in all our lives.
> God bless you and your family, Meg wall
