Prayers needed please

As some of you may remember from my ordeal, when my wife was getting discharged from her WLS they told her they found some cancer cells in the routine liver biopsy they do during WLS surgery. She went for scans and tests in December and January and they couldn't find any primary. So basically she has to get scans every 6 months just in case. So she had her 6 month scan in June and cancer specialist said they didn't find anything and he thought original pathologist misread biopsy after her surgery and he'll do one more scan the end of this year and no more if all still looks good. I asked specialist if he could send original biopsy out for second opinion so maybe they could definitively say they weren't cancer cells and all is good. We'll 2nd pathologist said they were cancer cells. So cancer specialist sent us to better specialist. Had appt today and this specialist found the tumor on the scan from January that our original cancer specialist ordered and missed. So angry right now as we have lost 8 months. She has tumor in small bowel and the lymph nodes there and of course there was evidence of cancer cells in her liver in December. She goes in for a focused scan next week and then they will tell us about the surgery and treatment she will need. Your prayers helped me with my rough time so figured can't hurt to have some more for my wife. They say the WLS can bring folks together or tear them apart, but we have grown much closer after surgery and my ordeal and it pains me she has to go thru this now. Thanks all

    My aunt has small bowel cancer. Apparently it's pretty rare. They took her into surgery, closed her up and said there was nothing they could do for her. They gave her 6 months. That was 6 years ago. S

Thanks all. We meet with surgeon today.

Prayers for you and your wife. You're both in my heart.

I'm sorry you and your wife are going through this.

I will say I worked in the medical field and I've seen many, many people recover from cancer through the treatments they are offering today. Keep your hope high and know that medical science is an amazing thing.

All my thoughts with you and your wife.

Thanks all.. My wife will have surgery to remove 2 tumors on October 7th. They are still evaluating how to deal with cancer cells in her liver. May just wait and see and treat when tumors develop or start her now on sandostatin hormones. We will get another opinion on liver treatment. Thank you for continued prayers
