    Out of surgery

    Posted by Brandon Haley.

    Mom is out of surgery now and in recovery. We should be able to see her in a couple of hours. Things went fine, and we would call the consultation with Dr. Asher mixed to positive news. The tumor was deeper than was originally thought, but he was able to remove it. He would not commit to saying that it was 100% removed, but he referred to possible microscopic traces left. We consider this a positive. He feels that she will need to have further radiation, but that will be something mom will discuss later when she knows more. Time will tell if there is any lingering speech issues. Mom asked me to post later as well when she is moved out of recovery, and I will after we get to see her. Please keep her in your thoughts!
