Home Already!

Hi. The doctors came into the hospital room and met with us this morning to say that in their opinion the surgery went very well.  The breast surgeon still doesn’t know how many lymph nodes were taken out, but estimates that it was around 9 or 10.  She said because they did find cancer still present in the lymph node, most likely Kim will need radiation after she heals from this surgery.  :(

The good news is they cleared Kim to go home today.  She was discharged this afternoon and we are back at the house.  Even though she is in a lot of pain, if she keeps up on the pain meds, they said it’ll be more comfortable for her at her own house.

I’ve gotta say that Kim was amazing for this whole surgery process.  Always full of smiles and always positive.  Even the nurses pointed out that she had such a positive demeanor.

Next week, she has appointments with all 3 doctors on her Dream Team (surgical oncologist, plastic surgeon, and medical oncologist) to check her progress and make plans for the next step in this process of slaying the big C.

Thanks,

Kenny
