So My younger sister Tricia had her surgery on Friday to remove her cancerous thyroid tumor and all went well. It took about 4 hours instead of the two they thought it would take. There were several reasons for this, first the nasty tumor was bigger than the Doctors thought it would be. Second, That darn larger tumor was near an important nerve or something and Third, the tumor was very close to her vocal cords and the whole voice box so it was tricky surgery so she could keep her voice.
We all know she needs her voice.
I guess the doctor did a great job of stitching up the giant cut he put in her neck, leaving no visible outside stiches. That is pretty cool
She took a picture yesterday on her cell phone of the first time she has seen her neck without bandages on it. I asked if i could post, she said sure. so here it is.
She is such a brave gal and that cancer has not beat her. They are still waiting on the biopsy they took of her lymph node before she is declared cancer free, I will let you know. But for now we believe all is well and there is no more cancer in her body.
Hooray!!!
Excellente! Perfecto!
