Pat went into surgery at 8 AM this morning. The procedure lasted about 45 minutes. She did really well through the surgery. The surgeon was able to go in from the front keeping it minimally invasive. The biopsy on the lump was positive for cancer and they are still running some additional tests to be sure whether it is lung or metastatic colon cancer. She had some pain after the surgery causing her some extra time in recovery. We are waiting for the doctor to come back in, he originally thought she might be able to go home on Wednesday. She is on morphine and mostly sleeping but has been awake and talking quite a bit. Will update again when I have some more information.
