More news on Carol H-

Hello again Everyone,

Since I last posted Carol had to have surgery to insert a couple of metal rods in her femur and spine area as the cancer had degenerated the bone so much, all treatments had been put on hold while she healed. This concerned Carol greatly as the brain tumour continue's to grow and she finds herself becoming more confused daily as a result while still battling the pain from the bone cancer.
This morning I had a call to say she's been moved finally to another hospital for WBR and I can visit her tomorrow
The first hospital she had been in for surgery allowed no visits (even family) as they had a severe flu outbreak going on, so poor Carol has been left on her own practically since Christmas. I just spoke with her and she hopes to be home next week, they've converted a room down stair's for her at home as she's in a wheelchair at present. I'm sure I'll get lots more news from her tomorrow but she still has the same determination and courage to fight this that she had when first dx. A very couragous lady!
She always asks about her friends here and as I've received a couple of pm's asking how she is I thought it was time for an update and a reminder to please keep her in your prayer's. Thanks to all.
