Surgery went really well today. They did find cancer in Marilee's sentinal lymph nodes (the 1st set) so they had to remove them and the second set of lymph nodes. Marilee will need to undergo chemo therapy for 3-6 months. That will start in 3-4 weeks once she has healed a bit from the surgery. Then Marilee will under go radiation therapy for 6 weeks. This is to make sure that there are no microscopic cancer cells in her body. The doctors attending Marilee are great.

Marilee was up and walking around the hospital halls before I came home tonight. She is in good spirits and wants to come home. She will come home tomorrow around noon.

Thanks to all for you support and love. Keep it up. Marilee has a ways to go to beat this but she will. The doctors are very positive that she will.
