Hey there,
My mom asked me to post a quick update regarding her surgery. Everything went just fine and she is with my dad at Virginia Mason recovering. The day was very long. She had to wait all afternoon in the waiting room after her surgery got bumped back due to an emergency surgery the doctor had to perform. She finally went into surgery around 8 p.m. or so and it took about two hours. But the doctor said the surgery was a success. They removed three lymph nodes, which appeared non-cancerous to the eye. However, they'll get more detailed results after the pathologist examines the lymph nodes and gives mom the full results in three or four days.
I'm sure she or my dad will be calling friends and family tomorrow as they feel up to it. But please know that she is doing very good. And although she wasn't feeling the greatest after she woke up, she was in good spirits.
All the best,
Winda

Good morning Suzi,
What great news!! You are on your way to being cancer free. We will be at Swedish tomorrow for Jim's 1 year check. Than we will be on our way to Alaska. See you on the dance floor soon.

Thanks for posting this, Winda - I'm relieved.
As Karen said, you're on your way now! I pray that the pathology reports on the lymph nodes will be clear, that you won't require chemotherapy, and that you'll heal quickly, both physically and emotionally. Then, later - you'll have perky boobs, again, and a tummy tuck... gotta always find the bright spot, doncha know!!!
I love you muchly and am thinking of you every second.
pat, xoxoxoxo
Hey Suzi! By today I'm hoping that you're feeling stronger and relieved. You're one strong woman and I love you much!!!! Hope to hear from you soon -- we'll keep praying for the very best outcome!
Keep us posted.
