<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The Holcombe Family invites you to celebrate
George’s becoming part of the 1% .......whose Pancreatic Cancer was found early
at stage 2 by our Asian Primary Care Doctor Sheila Shung who found it by
requesting a CTC scan one day, an MRI the next day, and setting up an
appointment the next day with surgeon, Dr Declan Fleming of Texas Oncology who
performed the Laparoscopic Surgery to remove 1/2 of his Pancreas where the
cancerous Tumor was located along with his Spleen, a few Lymph Nodes and blood
vessels at the new Dell Seaton UT Medical Center Hospital in downtown Austin
(new Medical School that opened in May) on Friday, September 8th, He received
exceptional care from all the Hospital staff (and medical students too). Plus
our day to day care from our wonderful daughter Sarai (our very own family
Nurse). George is home now, and on a recovery plan for the next 2 to 3 months.
.....encouraged by the good news the day he left the hospital this week that the
biopsies taken confirmed the cancer had not spread to other parts of his body.
The next steps will be to watch closely for signs of it returning, but no Chemo
or radiation recommended. We were also able to be home in time to celebrate the
life of our son Chris who died from stage 4 Prostate Cancer two years ago on
September 13, 2015.</span></p>
