from her sister, Chris:
Hi All,

I talked to Kathy recently. She is still very tired and in pain. She had another meeting with the doctor. The cancer was confirmed, some other tissue was removed during surgery and is being tested at pathologist.

She had a couple of tubes removed, including the catheter, so she is getting up and moving to use the restroom.

She is sleeping most of the time, more like on and off because of the pain and medication.

She has gotten all of her emails and read them and thanks you all. She is not up to responding yet.

I will keep you updated, but hopefully she can go home in a few days (they originally said 4-5 days)

Please keep her in your prayers, and take care of yourselves too!

Hugs

Chris

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
