Last night Claudia underwent her surgery from approximately 5:30p to 11:15p, including post-op time. We got her settled into her room about mid-night. Both surgeons met with me after the surgery and explained that all went accordingly to plan without any difficulties or complications. The preliminary test last night on the Sentinel Lymph Nodes came back negative for any cancer spread. We have to wait though for the final pathology report (due by the end of the week) to know for sure about any cancerous spread. What, if any, chemotherapy treatment will be determined with the oncologist in a few weeks.
Claudia is resting now and will probably remain in the hospital until the weekend. She wants to thank everyone for all the love, kind thoughts, prayers and support shown to her. She is really quite overwhelmed by it all, but it gives her (and I) strength knowing what wonderful family and friends we are blessed to have.
So glad to hear the surgery went well, and we'll be keeping our fingers crossed that everything is negative on the final report. Thanks for the update, Tim, and please give our best to Claudia!!
