Almost Done!

Well, we just got a call here in the waiting room from Dr. Landreneau. Shawn spoke w/ him and he said they were just finishing up w/ the bronch/EBUS. He said all they had left to do was put in the MediPort (sp?). We were surprised to get a call this soon - this was much quicker than we anticipated. Dr. said the mediastinoscopy was not indicated. Dr. Landreneau told us to call his nurse tomorrow, set up an appt. for chemo (which we already have) and said he will meet w/ mom again within the next couple weeks in New Castle. So, I guess there were no surprises :) and everything went according to plan in the OR.

They told us the MediPort would take around 1/2 hour or so, longer if they had trouble w/ positioning. Can't wait to see her in recovery!
