Ellen's doing great!

Sorry for the lack of updates...again!

Ellen's surgery went well! She is recovering quite nicely, especially since Mom and Dad have been able to come out and help. Dad had to return to New York shortly after but Mom has been able to stay and help out.

Shortly after the surgery, she went back to the doctor and had some lab tests done. The lab results showed no remaining cancer, which is fantastic!

She had another check-up yesterday. She is going to start doing a bit of physical therapy to help regain arm movement, which has been quite stiff since the surgery. Once she is able to put her arm over her head, they can start 6 weeks of radiation.

Surgery

On Wednesday, Ellen had a minor outpatient procedure done to install a filter to catch the blood clot as it moves out of her body.

Then, today, was the big surgery. Chris, Mom and Dad are there with her, and the doctors said she did well. They're not sure when she can go home, but the hospital staff is taking very good care of her.

For any additional details or to get contact information on Ellen, please call Lou or Chris.

Thanks everyone, lets keep Ellen in our prayers!
