Maudie Update

Here's an update on Maudie Lawson, Sherrie's mom. She had surgery on Wednesday to remove the tumor that was on/near her ovaries plus some other smaller tumors close by. When they went in to remove the tumor, they found that it was the kind of tumor that sticks to organs, and they were unable to remove the larger tumor because of where it was attached (to several organs.) They removed the smaller tumors and what they could of the large tumor (pieces that were bulging out of where it was stuck hiding.) She will start chemotherapy in order to hopefully shrink and un-stick the tumor for removal later. Please continue to pray for her, as we all know that chemo can be a terrible and painful ordeal.
