May 30-Surgery update

We just got another surgery update. Mark is 6 hours into the surgery. They are now starting the heated chemotherapy perfusion into the abdomen. They removed all the "seeds" or metastatic disease from the abdomen, but they didn't give us any specifics about the colon and what had to be done on the liver, prostate, rectum, etc. The chemo wash will take another 2 hours and hopefully he will be finished.

We should be getting the full update from the surgeon when they are finished. It sounds like God has been present in that OR today. Thanks so much for all the prayers today and every day since Mark's diagnosis. God bless!!!!

God is watching over Mark. So many prayers are being said for his recovery. He is constantly in my thoughts and prayers especially today. God Bless Mark and the Family.

Ronda and family--we've been praying all day! I know you all must be so tired and anxious. May God give you peace, rest, and patience (waiting on those OR reports!) I hope by now the surgery is over...
