Quick 1pm update ... Ed & Hope arrived at Memorial Hermann about 5:30am and they took Hope into surgery about 7:45. We don't know what time the first procedure began, but the breast surgeon completed her work and came to the waiting room about 10:30 to report good news. All lymph nodes looked good and the mastectomy went well. As she completed her part, the plastic surgeon took over and will likely be working until 5:30 or 6pm before we receive another update.
The reconstructive plan is to remove the gracilis muscle from the inside of Hope's right thigh and transplant that tissue as a reconstructed breast. I'm no physician, but ... YIKES!
More when we know it
