Title: Roma Jean ~~Surgery
Post by: Teresa on October 08, 2010, 03:49:19 PM
Roma called me this morning .. left a message as I have been doing massages most  all day...
She went into surgery this morning... They were going to remove the upper lobe off her right lung. All the scans up to this have been negative ..but she thought this might be cancerous.. If it is.. it is in stage 1.. She wanted everyone to know that she loves ya and will get back on the forum as soon as her fingers are able to type.. LOL

Update on Roma..

Roma is out of surgery and the doctor is encouraged with what he saw. They did take the upper right lobe and she will be in the hospital for 12-14 days. The pathology report will give the details of whether it was cancerous or not. It may not be in until Monday before we know anything at all..

Oh man.  Roma Jean, prayers are being sent to God on high for your quick healing.  To lose part of your lung is pretty traumatic.  Please get well quickly.

Ok, some disappointing news, but mostly good news. You are still ahead. Sorry your lung deflated, but your attitude sure didn't and that's really important. Glad you'll get to go home soon! Thinking of you, prayers too.
