Its finished!
At 9:45pm the surgeons called and told me that the operation was finsihed. The surgeons were happy that they had been successful and believe that they have been able to remove all the tumour. Plenty of tissue samples have been taken and sent for analysis to confirm everything has been taken out. This is a result beyond our wildest dreams. Jo did extremely well during the op, I'm sure proud of her!
In all the operation took about 13 hours and Jo will be recovering for a long time. Knowing Jo as I do I urge you all to keep an eye out for new posts from Jo by Saturday or Sunday.
Finally, as a person who is known to you all as 'other half' can I express my sincerest thanks to all of you for the constant support you have given Jo. As a community you are all important to Jo and I know Jo draws a huge amount of strength from you all. Jo and I talk a lot about all of you and the connection Jo has with you is hugely significant to her. You are her 'public' and extremely important to her and therefore important to me - please keep the connection and the support going.

I have popped over from Maggie's blog and am so happy to read of your wife's successful operation. She sounds like such a trouper. Am keeping her in my prayers..sending big hugs from Canada.....:-)
I wish you and Jo all the best as she recovers and no new cancer is found! Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet strong woman!)
Thank you for updating the blog.
I do not know Jo, I have never met her personally, but I have been sending prayers and positive thoughts for a while now.
I'm glad they're feeling positive.
So delighted to hear the news. I was thinking about Jo all through yesterday. I too have a young teenage boy, our only son, and, although I can't begin to understand what it must be like to have cancer, I know what it's like to have a son whom you cherish and want to watch grow up.
Sending lots of good wishes for the long recovery ahead x
I am so pleased!
I have been asking my readers for prayers for Jo, being a cancer sufferer myself and knowing how traumatic it can be, has made me realise that we are all an extended family and need each others help at times of crisis.
Assuring you of my continued prayers and wishing Jo a speedy recovery.

So glad that all went well with the operation, yes it will be a long road to recovery but we will be for all of you xx xx
What fantastic news ! Jo was constantly in my thoughts and prayers yesterday, so it's great to get an update. What a brave girl she is - an inspiration to the rest of us. I really miss her when she goes `off air` from time to time. x
Jo - this is wonderful - I was thinking of you all day - I sincerely hope that the feeling that you are being supported by your "public" helps - the thoughts don't stop here: I'll be continuing to think of you during your recovery. Thanks for updating "other half"!

I have read your blog for a while but never commented....
Thought of Julian of Norwich 'all will be well , all manner of things will be well'....x
This is good news indeed! I wish Jo continued healing and will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
I've come here via Maggie May, another brave lady who refused to give in to this awful disease.
I am so thrilled to hear that Jo's through the op successfully - what great news about a fantastic lady ! Keep on keeping on Jo, you're doing really well and it'll be great to have you back online when you are ready for it.
