Mom is out of surgery and CANCER FREE!! Those were the most important two words we heard from the surgeon. Surgery went well. The sentinel lymph nodes on the left side were clear on initial tests so they didn't remove any extra nodes on that side. The sentinel lymph nodes on the right side did show some cancer. They took a second level of lymph nodes on the right side just to make sure they got everything. So in total she had a bilateral mastectomy, and a lymph node dissection on the right side. We won't know more regarding treatment plan in the future until final pathology reports come back. She is in recovery now and we are waiting to go and visit with her. They expect she will be able to go home in the morning and start her recovery process. We will keep everyone updated as we continue through the day.
Thank you for all of the emails, thoughts, and prayers we really appreciate them all. And just because its good news I have to say again mom is CANCER FREE!!
