Hello All,
Once again thank you all for your prayers, gifts, e-mails, and cards. It is truly a blessing to be surrounded by such wonderful and caring people. I cannot express this enough. I heard back from the Thoracic surgeon today. I am scheduled to see the surgeon on Tuedsay June 29th, and have surgery on Wednesday June 30th. The procedure I will be having is called a VATS procedure. It is a Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery. As far as I know, they will go in through my ribs and remove the lesion or lesions with the video assisting them. This procedure will be much less invasive than a traditional thoracotomy. My hospital stay will be anywhere from 3-5 days post surgery, and I will more than likely have to have a chest tube. I was hoping we could get done sooner, but that is just part of it. I am not sure God gave me the patience that I need right now, but I am trying to make the most of the blessings at hand. Good healthcare, wonderful friends and family, and the resources to find my cancer when I did. God bless all of you.
Trish
