Update on WG's mom.

[icarus]

Great news!

Just heard from wildernessguru's sister. The surgery on his mom went very smoothly and they believe they got 90% of the cancer. The remaining 10% (in the liver) they plan to zap with chemotherapy.

She said, "They think they can fight it back for two years. And if it returns, they'll zap it again."

WG and I are going down to see her as soon as we can, hopefully before the chemo starts so she'll be feeling a little better.

I thanked his sister effusively for keeping us up to date and told her, "I haven't seen [WG] this calm since the building was on fire. Calm and intense, planning for every worst-case scenario."

His sister snickered, "His crisis reaction, eh?"

Yeah. I think I just saw why the California Department of Fire wants him back.

Now he's back to normal, soft and snuggly. And he took a long, peaceful nap.

Thats great news.
No lets just hope the chemo gets the rest of the stuff.

WG's a fireman?

Oh yeah. So relieved.

WG's a fireman?

Ex-wildland firefighter. He's the guy they'd send in via chopper to set up the big campaign fires: "Yeah, we need x number of hose-lays, we need to cut line over there, x number men with x amount of food."

Oh wow, no wonder he's automatically prepping for the worst case scenario. I'd imagine for him it's instinct.

Exactly!
