Some of you know more, some less, but I'm in no shape to sort it all out. Briefly, a couple of weeks ago Tash was diagnosed with breast cancer. Biopsy showed it to to be invasive, but of a type responsive to surgery and hormone therapy. After consultation with her surgeon (Dr. Yu), she decided to have a lumpectomy and a follow-up course of radiation followed by tamoxifen.
So, surgery was late this afternoon,, and here's the short version. The surgery went extremely well... Dr. Yu took out a substantial amount of tissue and the sentinel lymph node as well. He feels pretty good about it. Tash tolerated the surgery beautifully and looked great by the time she got to her room (I'm guessing that was about 8 PM). Her vitals are all fine. She's on oxygen and morphine, a dandy combination for her. I'll be going over fairly early in the morning to take her a latte, and we expect that she will be discharged after Dr. Yu sees her sometime tomorrow. She will be in residence with Clarke & Lisa at the 10th street apartment through Thursday, then to our place for a weekend dash to Camp Sherman.
That's about all I'm good for tonight, my dear friends, and so, good night!
Love,
Bruce
