For My Mom - Pituitary Gland Tumor

My mom has received a date for her surgery - July 21st (Tuesday) at 10:30am.  The doctor says the tumor is non-hormone producing so the surgery is safe and she has to undergo routine preoperative testing (EKG, blood work, etc).  Please pray the doctors are able to remove the entire tumor.  It is not cancerous, but, if left alone, it can continue to grow.  My mom is having vision disturbances that could lead to permanent blindness if not corrected since the tumor is compressing the optic nerves.  The doctor is optimistic of the outcome, so that helps.  Still, the word "tumor" is difficult to fathom and we cannot wait until she has the surgery to get rid of it.
