Surgery Tomorrow

So Chinh's going in to surgery tomorrow.  She's a bit nervous, but I know she'll do fine.  She's going in for a lumpectomy.  Basically they are going to remove the cancerous mass and the surrounding tissue and one or two lymph nodes (I think it was two).  Once they have those things removed they will have the lymph nodes and the surrounding tissue sent out for testing.  The result will tell them whether or not the cancer has spread to different areas.  We should get the results back in seven to ten days.  The surgery will be about one and a half hours and she should be able to go home the same day.
