Hospital - Day Four

Day Four. Already?

Wow, time flies.

Ellicia is recovering well. She's forecasted to stay there through Monday, so she's getting comfortable. We have her well entertained and she still doesn't have a roommate, which has her happy.

Part of this is awaiting results of tests. While she's undergone x-rays, mammograms, Pet scans (if your cat meows, you're safe - if your cat barks, you have a possessed cat), etc... it's these final tests that will be the ultimate determination. What the docs did was to go into the breast, and scoop out the mass that was still showing up on the scans. Then, they scooped areas surrounding it. Now, they'll take those surrounding areas and slice them into super thin slices. Each slice is then tested for cancer. If nothing shows (and so far, none has), then it will be assumed that there's none anywhere else. If some shows, then it will be assumed that cancerous cells are elsewhere, and she'll be scheduled for a separated surgery to undergo mastectomy.

Meanwhile, life continues.
