It's Out!!!

The cancer, that is.  Dr. Warden just came to see us and gave us the good news that the double mastectomy is done and there were no surprises.  She said Nicole is doing well.  She didn’t lose much blood, and the right lymph node showed no cancer, which is great news.  (We already knew it was in the left one, and that has now been removed.)  Jen then spent some time with us and reiterated that Nicole is doing great.  (We wouldn’t expect anything less, right?)

Dr. Cohen is now performing the second stage of the surgery – the reconstruction.  But as Jen just said: The tough part is now done.  The cancer is out.  (LOVE THOSE FOUR WORDS!)
