Hi. This is Greg. I just wanted to give everyone an update on Susan's Surgery.
She went into surgery at 1:00 PM and Dr. Byrum started at 1:45 PM. She came out at 4:00 and said that she had removed the lymph nodes. She said several of them were very hard. Usually this is an indication that they are cancerous. However, because she was there 4 weeks ago, she felt that they were hard due to a reaction from surgery. Pathology will be back on Thursday to tell us if it is a reaction or cancerous.
She also installed the port on her left side.
At 4:30 PM, Dr. Matt started the hysterectomy. The surgery was completed at 9:00. I got to talk to the doctor at 9:30. He indicated that the tumor mass is not cancer, but is borderline. This means that it could go either way, but he felt it would not be invasive. He will have his results back on Friday and it will go to the tumor board on Friday. Because it was borderline, he went ahead and took the lymph nodes from that area.
We are waiting for her to go to her room at 11:00 PM. She will definitely be here until Wednesday in the hospital.
Thanks....
Greg

Thank you for updating us Greg. Prayers and positive thoughts for Susan and you.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteGreg, Give Susan our love. We've been praying in our family for her AND for you, Brooklynn & Preston, especially on Monday. Tell her she probably has more Mormons praying for her than there are for our Mormon friends! We've put her name in our temple, again. We're all Christians, and adding our faith and prayers, we hope you feel God's love and Christ's comfort. We know it will be God's will, and Christ will be at your side, no matter what the outcome is, but we surely are hoping for good results. Love, Gordon & Karen (& Shawna, too)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Greg. I continue to pray for Susan, you and the family.
ReplyDeletethanks for let us know. deeply pray for her
