I spoke with Ronda last night. (1-16-09) They got back home after driving in bad weather.
The doctors at Mayo confirmed everything that the doctor here told them. That made their faith in the doctor here be stronger.
She does have the tumor on the pituatary gland. She does have Cushings which she will try and control with diet and less stress--she also had a vitamin D definciency and was malnutritioned. The tumors in the intestine which the doctors called "hot spots" are not large enough to be biopsied--so Mayo suggested that they be scanned every 6 months to watch for any kind of growth.
She met with her doctor here yesterday with the Mayo results and the doctor here suggested that the "hot spots" be scanned every 2 months so that if they do grow they can catch it quicker.
She is not going to have any surgery at this point and will be returning back to work real soon.
Continue to keep them in your prayers and Ronda said to tell everyone she appreciated the prayers, cards, emails, texts and calls.
