Deanna Tonkovic Lyman

On June 2nd Deanna had noticed that her "urine" looked different and contacted her doctor.  On Friday, June 8th she had the urge to urinate, but couldn't and severe pain settled in.  It was at that point that she experienced her first ever ambulance ride to Mercy.  IVs were inserted, tests scheduled and pain medicines started. Saturday, June 9th she had a few procedures (cystoscope, pyleogram and uerterscopy). Tests revealed that she had a kidney stone and a stent was put into place.  In addition to the kidney stone, she was diagnosed with Renal Cell Cancer (Kidney Cancer) in her right kidney. Surgery to remove her right kidney is scheduled for Friday, June 15.  Deanna is in great spirits!  Her and Terry appreciate your thoughts and prayers.  Keep them coming!
