I just talked to her, it really was the size of a watermelon - it extended from her diaphragm to her pubic bone and had been growing for several years. The doctor said it had a hard inner core - which could contain cancer cells (they haven't found any yet, but will continue to look) but that the outer covering which was only the borderline cells had contained everything inside. The doc said the rest of her insides looked "pristine".

Wow - I wonder how much that thing weighed. Good news to hear that she's going to be ok.

I know, I wonder that too - I'm going to make her find out! I also learned that huge tumors like this are never cancer because the person would be dead before they got this big - makes sense!!!

This is great news Gayle! Prayers are still coming.

She's going to be quite a bit thinner!

Unbelievable, was she in a lot of pain with something that size inside her?
