Hello all.
Just spoke with Nez. The surgeon just stopped by her room and said the test results showed she is Stage 2. She's this stage for two reasons - (1) the tumor size was bigger than 2 cm and (2) during surgery they removed two lymph nodes for testing; one came back with a microscopic trace of cancer cells and the other came back with none. Because one came back with a trace of cancer cells and the tumor was that size, they had to categorize her as Stage 2.
As far as treatment after she heals from the surgery, it is still undetermined. However, the surgeon's best guess is that she will probably undergo chemo and not radiation, but that will be determined by her oncologist. We're hoping she can take the chemo in pill form and that it won't cause nausea or hair loss.
Nez said she feels 75% better than yesterday. They had her walking down the hall and she has spent most of the morning sitting in a chair.
She will probably be released tomorrow. Once I find out for sure, I'll post it here.
