[Woodcarver] Pastor Paul McCain

[Rod Schrivener]

Thanks for the update...

I'll give you a call and fill you in here. Briefly, Becky and Todd went to U of Neb Liver center, and the board thinks that holding off on surgery while she is on her current treatment is the best move. Her oncologist has said that all along, but one of the KU surgeons thought she should have the lobe of the liver and probably gall bladder removed. Potentially disrupting her treatment was not thought to be a good idea.

Take care.

Rod
