Trisha,

        Please pass on my prayers for Betty's mom. I know she must be tired
and weary from all this.

Bobby

>> Good day dear friends,
>>
>> I want to let you know that my Mom is out of surgery and in the recovery
>> room.  The surgeon was able to remove the tumor without major
>complications.
>> Because of the nature of this particular tumor, he is concerned about the
>> possibility of growth that "present technology cannot detect," but he is
>> reluctant to prescribe chemotherapy or radiation.  I don't know more than
>> this, but thanks to the surgery, I suspect that Mom will be relieved of
>the
>> pain she has been suffering.  Naturally, I wish the doctor's crystal ball
>> could have given a clearer picture.
>>
>> This information was relayed to me by my nephew, Bob Relyea, who has been
>> staying with us since Saturday, and is at the hospital now.  He lost his
>> beloved paternal Grandmother last year, so my Mother's illness has been
>> especially troubling to him.  Bob is leaving tonight to go back to
>Richmond,
>> since he is moving into a new house this week.  I imagine he is already
>> tired, and my heart is with him for the task ahead.
>>
>> Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for your kind thoughts and prayers on
>> behalf of my Mother.  I am truly blessed to have such good friends.
>>
>> Take care,
>> Betty
