	Update
	Once again this is Joe on Adele's LJ. Yesterday was a little long to say the least. If you read the update that Tricia (LJ username: triciaseow) posted, you would have heard the latest. I have taken the liberty of infringing on Tricia's Copyright by reproducing it below: === Update on Auntyadele Adele went in for a biopsy at 3.30 p.m. today, and came out at 8 plus p.m. She is alert but will be in a High Dependency ward for a few days, due to the fact that the surgery was performed in an area close to the heart. The following are the possible permutations with regard to what the growth and possible treatment might be: 1. It is a benign tumour and radiotherapy will shrink it and that's the end of the matter. 2. It is actually lymphoma (lymph node cancer) and chemotherapy will be an option. 3. The worst scenario is that they might need to do a surgery (benign or otherwise) to get the growth out. However due to the fact that it is already wrapped around important blood vessels, it'll be a tricky and major surgery. So the issues now are: Is the growth benign? What type of treatment would be best? For that we need to wait for the results of the biopsy. Joe and Adele say they are very touched at the many smses and good wishes and consider themseves blessed to have this level of support and love from all of you. They are in a steady financial situation so what is most needed is the emotional support to get her through this. The only thing to add is this: Some of you may be worried by the seemingly lengthy procedure (as I was). To clarify Adele only actually got rolled into the Operating Theatre at 4:25. Then they began the task of getting the tissue sample for the biopsy. the first sample was substantial, but the pathologist was unable to make a preliminar call based on the sample. So the surgeon made the decision to get a second sample, via a second route. === Thank you all for the tremendous love and support. I'll printing your posts for Adele to read. She's truly blessed to have so many friends. The previous day. The next day.

	Thank you Joe

for the update and keeping us in the loop. I think I speak for everyone when I say we've been worried like hell and frantically refreshing our LJ page for updates. Thank you for taking the time in these moments to let us know what is going on. Adele is blessed to have a husband like you and WE are blessed to have a friend like her. We are all thinking of her and praying for all of you.

Thank you for keeping us all posted. It's a testament to what a sweet and wonderful person Adele is, that so many people are pulling for her right now. We're keeping her in our thoughts and prayers, and the updates help, when we're on the other side of the world, feeling like there's not much we can do.

How are you and the kids coping, Joe? Know that you are all in my prayers. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Del, we're all so blessed to have you as a friend. I wish there was more I could do, but it's not likely from 12 time zones away. :-P So please do know that we're praying very hard, and with tons and tons of people are rooting for you to get well, there's no way you can't get well! :-D Love you...
