End-ex

Posted on by brendawontbackdown

So after ten hours the operation is done and we are assured a success. Mr Moran has resected the tumour and removed Brenda’s appendix, spleen, uterus, ovaries and gallbladder. He has also performed a right hemicolectomy  but he has preserved all sorts of other bits which means she will not have to have a stoma fitted. This is fantastic news and will buoy her up a great deal

Thanks to everyone for their love and positive thoughts. I can’t thank Brendan Moran, the surgeon and his team enough what a superhuman effort. Over 400 people in 10 countries have been in touch which is a tribute to my ‘Wonder Woman’ wife.

You are strong and in the best shape to triumph over this challenge. How fitting that you and Trend are journaling this journey for others to share and benefit. Now, we are here for you.

  20. You have all been in our thoughts and my prayers and so relieved its over and ‘gone well’ as you describe – but admit to being horrified at the extent of it the procedure. Brave lady – with such a wonderfully supportive husband – backed up by a powerful network of well wishers.
