> 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
