One small step in the right direction…

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

From Songjewel on my Twitter Network, something to smile about and think “Yes, this is the right direction to head in…”

Breakthrough Surgery Saves Terminal Patient

From ABC News:

Brooke Zepp, 63, was told that her tumor was inoperable because it was buried so deep inside her abdomen and that she had only months to live. After receiving a diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma, Zepp found a team of surgeons willing to perform an unprecedented operation. It took seven surgeons more than 15 hours, in which they removed her stomach, pancreas, spleen, liver and large and small intestines, while keeping Zepp alive. Once they cut out the tumor, which was wrapped around a major artery, they painstakenly put all the organs back in her body.

So close on the anniversary of Joe’s death, this kind of progress is not only timely but inspiring.
