Hi, Rosie,
Thanks for asking about Ava! Yes, she did have the RC on Jan. 22nd. I spoke with her yesterday and she sounded much stronger! I don't have any news on reports except for the lymph nodes: they were whistle clean!
She is having lots of swelling/edema, from abdomen to feet.
We are hoping she will go home sometime this week. She is having problems with the ostomy bag (leaking, etc.) and she is frustrated.
The operation took 8 hours. There was a complication with scar tissue from an earlier procedure, so that took some time.
All in all, I'd say she has been doing well!
Clara
