The latest on Tom

The last few weeks have been a wild ride and I am way behind on updating this blog.

On Feb. 4th Tom had surgery. They removed his gallbladder, but had to abort the attempt to remove the pancreatic tumor because it is too close to the portal vein.

On Feb. 9th we got the news that it is pancreatic cancer. The doctors wanted to do 2 weeks of intense radiation and chemo and them send Tom back up to Indy to have surgery. His billirubin is currently too high for surgery. On Thursday the 19th Tom had out patient surgery to install a port for the chemo.

Tom has started radiation and will start the chemo tomorrow. We ask that you continue to pray so they can attempt another surgery to remove the tumor.

Tom has such and great attitude and his faith is very strong. He tells everyone that God has his back. He is an inspiration to me.

We want to thank all our customers and consignors for their concern and understanding during this time. We have had to close a few days and will continue to do so as needed.

Special thanks to our friends Susan and Wendy for volunteering to help me keep the store open as much as possible. You ladies are angels.

I will update as new information is available.

Blessings to everyone,
Mary Jo
