She's Out

Bonnie’s surgery was from 3:15 to 8:24. That’s 5 hours and 9 minutes. The doctor came out and said that there was no bad news. The doctor said the tumor was aggressive and went across the abdomen from ovary to ovary. There was no visible invasion into other organs. So they did not put in a “port” and “soaker hose” for chemo in the abdomen.

They took out a tumor, ovaries, uterus, tubes, appendix, gall bladder, and lymph nodes. They will check all of the parts for cancer. We will get the results of the pathology report in several days. All laproscopic so no big open incision in the belly. She will have general chemo and most likely radiation therapy in the pelvis.

The above two paragraphs are from my aunts and dad about what the doctor said concerning my moms surgery. I will let you know when I know more
