I just talked with Susan’s surgeon. She is in the recovery room, the surgeon says that everything went well. I was starting to get worried, though, as she had been in surgery for almost two hours for a surgery that was scheduled for 75 minutes. The surgeon gave me a Polaroid picture of the tumor, which turned out to be two tumors that are the size of “strawberries.” One tumor was behind the lump on her neck that we could feel, and apparently removal of that extra strawberry made the surgery take a little longer.
The surgeon is going to try to get us the biopsy results tomorrow, so hopefully we will have a more definitive diagnosis.
I expect to be able to go back and see her any any moment now.
Thanks for the updates Russ, You can share in the plethora of ice cream to come.
Thanks so much for the update. It is so great to know what is going on so quickly. Is this an out-patient surgery that allows her to go home after recovery? We love you guys very much. Hang in there.
Hi Susan, so glad this part is over for you. You have been in my prayers all morning. I loved reading what you wrote this morning. I am proud of you, you have a wonderful attitude. I love you, Aunt Linda
Hope you feel better soon Susan!!
My prayers are with you and your family and if you need anything anything at all even someone to play with the kids while you rest let me know. God bless you all
Marylyn says congratulations on the twin lumps. When do we get to see them?
Sincerely,
One proud new Uncle
