Just out!

I just finished talking with the surgeon.  What a painful waiting but it was worth the time because he spent a long time making sure that all of it was gone!  I will try to remember as much as possible.

She had a tumor in her uterus that he said was a good 15 to 20 times larger than they usually are.  It was massive he said.  He thinks that is a stage 1A cancer, which is really barely even a cancer.  He took the entire uterus out.  There was also a super huge, disgusting (his words) tumor around her ovaries that he thinks is stage 3C.  There was a large part of it that was fluid and the rest was thick.  He took 100% of that tumor out.  That one spread around a bit to other areas.  They took the surface off of her liver, which he said bled quite a bit and he called in another surgeon to help him fix that.  Now that is all gone too!  Because of the location of the cancer on her liver, he had to literally pull it out.  Because of that, he found a spot on her diaphragm, so he took out part of her diaphragm.  He took lymph nodes that were close to her heart out.  There seemed to be no other floating spots.  There was some shifting of things because of all this tumor, so she should feel so much better when she recovers.  The Evil Baby is gone!

He said that her cure rate is really good and that she will be here with us for quite some time, years to come.  Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts and support today.  I couldn't have done it without you all!

She will be here for 4-5 days but he wants her up and going quickly.  She will be quite sore but will have zero - ZERO!!!! - effects from the surgery today, all things will heal to normal state.

She will still do chemo but she is already a rock star in my eyes.  Stay tuned for update when I see her within the hour and I'll get a room number for anyone that wants to visit in the coming days.

Love to all!
