I think there may be a window of time following chemo & radiation when an operation has be performed if surgery is wanted. Can anyone verify this and if it is true, can you tell me more about the window? How much time do we have before the window closes and surgery is no longer an option? The chemo ended 11/16. She was put into the Hospital because of the side effects of the one week of chemo and the feeding tube was put in 11/28. The radiation ended 12/7 and surgery was scheduled Jan 31. LaRae was put back into the hospital for pain in her stomach last Tuesday, Jan 8 and at I:30AM Wednesday she was taken to ICU because her blood pressure had dropped to 74 over 40, heart rate was 130, temperature was 194. Exploratory surgery was performed at 5PM and they found her intestine was gangrenous and they removed 2 feet of the intestine. Without divine intervention, she will not be able to have the cancer surgery on the 31st and we want to know how much time we have in order to be specific in our prayers. Thank you-ken
