Surgery was Successful

The surgery was extremely successful and Patty is doing okay.  The dye they injected earlier in the day did not travel to her lymph nodes so she did not have to have them removed from under her arm! This is very good news as this means the cancer did not travel (as far as we know).  They did remove one lymph node to examine in a lab under a microscope.  But as it stands, the surgery went as good as it could go and the outlook is could.

We will know more when the lab results come back and after her first run of radiation.

So far, everything is going as planned and we are very pleased with the results.
