Many of you know that she underwent thoracic surgery last Friday morning. The fluid build up on her right lung had become life threatening, so her oncologist set up a procedure called, talc paradiesis. It essentially glues the lung to the pleural wall, thus eliminating any space in which fluid can build up. The surgery, which was done entirely with arthroscopy, was highly successful. In fact, when her sister Gail and i first saw her in the recovery room, she was just grinning to herself. I asked her about the smile and, even though she hadn't been told that the surgery had been successful, she said it just felt good to get a lung full of air. Please know though that this treatment, like all others for secondary breast cancer, is treating the symptoms; the disease will continue on its course unless we get a true miracle. However, Sue and I have long ago faced this notion, so we are most happy to get this gracious reprieve. Keep up your healing thoughts and prayers.
