I just wanted to ask everyone to pray for LeAnne Whittemore and her family. She was diagnosed Monday with colon cancer. She is scheduled to have surgery at Skyline next Friday, July 8th, to remove at least a foot of her colon and the lymph nodes around the area. When she was in the ER in March they thought she had Colitis. The mass that was just found is in her lower abdomen but what they felt was Colitis is in the upper abdomen. He wants to possibly remove that section as well. So this will be a major surgery. She will have to spend at least a week in the hospital and then about six weeks at home recovering from the surgery. He thinks that she will most likely have to start chemo shortly after just to insure nothing was missed and because she is so young.
Good news is that the CT scan that was done when she was in the ER in March didn’t show anything on any of the other organs. The scan will be repeated next week before surgery since it has been three months. We are hoping that is was found early and it has not spread.
In true LeAnne fashion, when the doctor told her that it was cancer she worried first about her clients and how this was going to affect them. She has gotten things set up so that she will be able to work from home and I will be here daily as a go between. So if you are one of our clients please understand that she will be working as hard as she can up until surgery and as soon as she is able to when she gets home. Bare with us and together with lots of prayers, she will be back in the full swing of things in no time.
Again, please pray for her and her family and myself as well. This is going to be a difficult road for everyone but with God at the wheel all will be ok.
Thank you!
