Mom is currently being seen by a surgeon after her initial visit with the oncologist.
The cancer has been identified as ovarian in nature. The visual painted by Dr. Meshad was of a handful of sand thrown into one's abdomen with each grain being a small tumor. He suggested chemotherapy followed by surgery, followed by chemotherapy. His initial prognosis is that there is a 70% chance of controlling it as a chronic condition but perhaps not curing it. After the surgeon finishes his examination Mom is to meet with the oncologist again so there may be additional news to be shared. As of 6:06 PM Eastern that is the story.
