Jennifer's surgery yesterday was very successful. They were able to remove the malignant node which "peeled it right off." This the wording which I think suggests it had not attached itself to other tissue. The two spots they found with the pet scan were malignant and removed. They were close to significant areas but not in or on them. This means there was no having to remove tissue that would require the rerouting of things like urethra or colon... Yeah.. She will be at UCD for three-four days. I am sure cards, meals, whatever, would be greatly appreciated by Brian...
The prognosis is that with radiation and chemo they will be able to put her back into remission. She should be with us for a long time. Who can we thank except a generous, wise God who still has plans for her and we are the lucky beneficiaries. - Heather
