As most of you know, Ellen has had serious health struggles for a couple decades. Although she has seen many MDs and specialists, we have not made adequate progress, and this last year has brought a big increase in physical pain. The greatest advances have been through alternative approaches, and recent efforts have increased strength paving the way for what is next.
July 14th, Ellen had a CT scan that showed a large ovarian mass 28x25x14cm (11" x 10" x 5.5") (about the size of a round watermelon or 2 to 3 laptop PCs). The ovarian growth is pressing up on her lungs causing fluid build up there, clamping her colon and applying problematic pressure elsewhere as well. Further tests indicated it to be cancerous.
We are looking at the options before us and are hopeful for a resolution soon. Next steps include consultation with an gynecologic oncologist surgeon July 20th. Your prayers for wisdom, discernment, strength, courage, healing, ... are appreciated.
