update

My surgery went fine, my heart was ok. I had several different tubes in me from head to toe, all are out now. the surgeon said I could go home today....but then I noticed the fluid in the drainage tube was bloodier that it had been, thank to the blood thinners. There is bleeding inside and she wants to get the clots out.


The pathology report said only one lymph node had cancer so we are good there. Dr is not happy with the margin around the mass, cancer could reoccur or radiation could take care of it. She wants to go back in and take more tissue from the posterior.


Needless to say I am bummed. We all agreed that it would be best to take care of it tomorrow. I was all set to go home tomorrow. Still in ICU and feeling great.....but it's not my plan......it's HIS plan.


Keep those prayers coming!!!
