Stan, the surgeon just rang, as he promised he would when he finished the surgery. He said that the surgery "went really well" and that there were "no unexpected findings." He said that he was very happy with the margins. He said the tumor looked just as it did on the MRI, so there were no surprises there. He explained that all of both radioactive dies went to only one sentinel lymph node (which means she only has one and it means that she only had to have one removed, which seems good to me), so he is very confident that it will be a good indicator. He said the one lymph node "looked and felt normal," so he is "hoping and expecting the lymph nodes to come out clean." She will be in recovery for the next half hour, returning to the room when she is awake and comfortable, likely groggy for the next two hours. All in all, things look as good as they can at the moment. Very thankful that things may look much brighter from here.
All of the wishes we've been getting have meant so much to both of us and have brought me to humble, grateful tears over and over again.
Much love to you all.
Michael
