Surgery went well

Overall the surgery was a success. We were at the hospital at 7:45AM, went through all the pre-op stuff and Jenn was in surgery about 10AM. The surgery was over around 11AM and the doctor called me in to say that everything looked good and the procedure went as planned. After she came out of recovery we went to her room for a little R&R before going home around 6PM. Jenn is a little sore (obviously) but considering that this procedure used to have about a 2 week recovery time, the new way that they perform historectomies is a lot better. Jenn will come out of this with 3 new scars but it could have been much worse...

Surgery tomorrow...

As the next likely place for cancer to show up after the breast is the ovaries, they are taking out her ovaries tomorrow in an outpatient surgery. I will post an update once the surgery is complete...
