Good News from the hospital. I am exhausted. We just got home around 1:00pm and Kathie is resting now as we try to get settled back in. From the preliminary examination of the tissues at surgery it appears that the cancer has not metastasized to the lymph system; therefore she most likely will not have to undergo any Chemo, just radiation treatments.

The Doc said that the cancerous cell tissue was very small and really hard to discern without the markers and radio-graphs but she feels that she got it all. I guess I'm a little uncertain why they have to do the radiation if they got all the cancer cells at surgery. I guess its a preventative thing and insurance that they did indeed get it all.

Thanks again for all your well wishes and support. I really think she is out of the weeds, even though she's got a couple more months to deal with doctors and hospitals.
