Dr. B rocks!
It turned out much better than any of us expected!
Dr. Brennan just explained that he believes he removed ALL of the growth AND that he is 95% certain it was all BENIGN!!
On top of that already great news, he ALSO never had to remove the kidney - which we didn't expect at all!
Next steps...
Carolina will most likely remain in the Hospital for another 5 or 6 days overall. Within 2-3 days we should get a final read back from pathology that we believe will exhibit almost 100% certainty.
This will determine the next steps, i.e. radiation, chemotherapy, or ?.
But as of now - it seems that no other treatment will be needed aside from recovering and living a happy productive life!!!
As Carolina would say - Wooooo Hooooooooooo!
Sigh,
Christopher
