First Oncology Surgical Update
January 11th, 2024
First Procedure Scheduled!
Mrs. Hernandez met with her surgeon yesterday to begin her journey to evict the mass. The surgeon recommended Sella Hernandez to complete 6 rounds of chemo over 3 months to shrink the mass and hopefully get the mass separated from the artery that flows to her liver. Following those 3 months they will check the status of the tumor to ensure the tumor can be safely removed.
Over the next 3 months Stella will receive chemotherapy infusions one day every other week. Her first concern was keeping up with her job at the Junior High. She has been told she can work if she tolerates it but that chemo affects everyone differently.
On Monday, January 15th, Stella will be having a central line placed for chemo and a laparoscopic exploratory surgery to ensure that there is only one tumor. If you see Mrs. Hernandez around the school give her some encouragement and love for her surgery on Monday.
There is also a gofundme in place for Mrs. Hernandez linked here. The hospital made sure to get $1,000.00 before her surgery so she is in need of funds.
Royal's support of Mrs. Hernandez is already felt and appreciated. She is very thankful to be a part of a workplace that operates like a team and loves like a family!
