All:
Dr. J was to have completed the mastectomy by 11:00 but just saw her a few minutes ago. She said everything went fine and Joan's vitals are good. I was extremely worried that Dr. J was 2 hours late but she said "you know your wife has big breasts" so I cut her some slack. She also said that since Joan lost so much weight her skin has become stretchy which apparently isn't a good thing for surgery. Lot's of pulling and cutting. The tissue looks good, is healthy and they are well underway in the reconstruction process. It will be another 3-4 hours before it's completed. The breast tissue was sent to pathology but due to the holiday we may not hear back until the week after next. You never know however as the last report was 2 days early. That's it for now. I will update again after I speak with Dr. Song.
Thank you so much for keeping us all updated Ron. We're waiting with you and sending you love.
