Well, she's all done. The procedure went well. We are waiting to see her in recovery. Dr. Schuchert, who performed the EBUS w/ Dr. Landreneau, just came in to talk to us. There is some involvement w/ the lymph nodes and airway lining, but it has not spread elsewhere in the body. Next step -- chemo and radiation. Dr. Schuchert said her type is sensitive to the chemo/radiation treatments and they have seen dramatic results in some cases. That's going to be her! Once the tumor has been shrunk, they'd still like to perform surgery. We meet with her oncologists on Thursday (radiation) and Monday (chemo).
