My partner's mother is going into the hospital tomorrow to have surgery for stage 3 peritoneal cancer. She has a tumor the size of a grapefruit growing off one of her ovaries. She is 74 years old.
Thank you all for your kindnesses.

Update:
So, they opened her up yesterday and found that her bowel had three places that would soon be obstructed so they attached a bag. They also found that the cancer had many, many spots of more than one centimeter so they closed her back up and are going to do a twelve week regime of chemo to see if the cancers will become less. Then at the end of the twelve weeks they will decide if they should operate again or ........ now she is on a morphine drip to ease the pain.
Praying what ever her journey is to be that it is easy and not too painful.

Thank you for the kindnesses. She is eating a little food as of yesterday. They are going to start chemo tomorrow hoping to shrink the tumors so her kidneys will function better. she is stabilized and will be going to rehab she is not able to go home yet she has too many tubes.
We hope that whatever happens she will not be in unmanageable pain.

Holly, having just gone through abdominal surgery, I have utmost compassion for your partner's mom . I hope that the chemo works for the best for her and that they can keep her from too much pain. Compassion and peace to her and your family.
*hugs*

Hello everyone,
thank you everyone for sending cards and good wishes. Each one delighted her that someone she did not know would take the time to wish her well. The battle to regain health was not to be won. the cancer was very aggressive and a couple of days ago she acquired a blood infection. Saturday morning she was moved to hospice and given a 3 to 5 day guess at further life. That journey is now complete. she passed this afternoon. Her family is gathering now. Hugs to you all.
Holly

Hi Holly,
I know that this is a difficult time. The funeral is over and everyone has gone home and you and your partner are left with the sadness and memories. I just want you to know that you are both still in our prayers. Prayers of comfort and peace. Thinking of you both. Hugs, Joey
