Just a quick update, mom (Jerri) will be having her surgery this afternoon at Roanoke Memorial Hospital. She has a great surgeon, Dr. Keith Munson and I'm very confident that this procedure will reduce the ongoing pain and pressure she has at this time.
As most of you know, she has spent more than 29 years working at Lewis Gale Hospital in the Radiology department. Yesterday afternoon, those great folks at LGH delivered a wonderful card that brought her to tears. We are so grateful for all the cards, well wishes, offers of support and most importantly the “prayers” during this difficult time. For more than 18 years I have worked to help those afflicted with deadly diseases like cancer, never once knowing that one day....... I would be holding my mothers hand as she too faces cancers and prepares for her own battle to overcome a deadly disease.
Hopefully, her struggles will remind each of you to be proactive and routinely schedule those all important screenings like; mammograms, colon and prostate exams. I will update everyone once she is in recovery and doing well this evening....Keep us in your prayers.. Steve
