Mom's Surgery

Mom's surgery went fine last week. It was a very long day, as she had to be at the hospital well before dawn, and I usually arise well after dawn :). She came out of surgery in the early afternoon, and the doctor came out to the waiting room to let us know things had gone well. He did say however, that it looked like the cancer had spread to more than the one lymph node. She has no feeling in that area of her neck and lower ear, so she does not feel much pain from the surgery. She is home and getting around, but tired.

She will heal for a few weeks, and then begin radiation. It is scary to think that the cancer could be growing in her now, if it was not all removed. Please pray that she is and will remain cancer free, and for a quick healing.
