The longtime KOMO anchor had her third surgery for a brain tumour 6 weeks ago, and yesterday posted this note on the station website.

May 15, 2008 Update:

To my KOMO friends and viewers,

I wanted you to know I'm doing really well on the road to recovery!

I'm getting my strength back, am going for some walks, am having fewer headaches and less soreness where they did the surgery. I am convinced that all the good thoughts, wishes, and prayers are making a huge difference.

The next step of treatment will involve a chemotherapy drug that will hopefully stop this tumor from growing once and for all. I will probably start on that next week.

I look forward to being back when I'm able, and thank you again for all the support. It has been such a help for me and my family.

Warm regards,
Kathi Goertzen

Kathi's progress reports have been taken off KOMO's website; so I don't want to jump to conclusions, but that doesn't make things sound too positive.
