Double Mastectomy Surgery is Tomorrow

From Morry:

Jenn is slated to arrive at St. Mark's Hospital tomorrow (Thursday, January 31) at 7:00 a.m. Based on what she and Tony were told us at her last appointment, the first order of business will be to have the tumor injected with a nuclear dye. It will then be a three- to four-hour wait before the surgery can begin to allow the dye time to travel through her lymphatic system. The purpose of the dye is so that the doctor will know which lymph nodes will need to removed to have biopsied. Given that timeline, she should be in surgery sometime between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m., and the surgery is likely to take between five and seven hours. Hopefully she will be out of surgery and in recovery no later than 6:00 p.m. Please keep Jenn in your prayers tomorrow, and as I know more throughout the day, I will post updates here.
