Surgery Done!

Shawnae had her surgery today, and by all accounts, was quite successful. The sentinel node removal and test was benign (preliminary results), so that is very very good news.

The lumpectomy was also successful and the surgeon felt confident that he got the whole tumor and good "margins" around it. They are sending that off for testing too - we should know more early next week.

Right now, Nae is at home and snoozing (good/strong pain medication) but asked me to update this briefly for her. She is experiencing quite a bit of discomfort tonight - - - in other words, it hurts pretty bad tonight.

I'm sure she'll write more tommorow, but for now . . . so far, so good.
