Day of surgery lounge, part 2

Okay. The good news is that a thorocotomy was not required. The bad news is that the mass was cancer. They still don't know if it's the same cancer or an entirely different one (Dr. P suspects it is a second cancer), and I don't think we'll get any word on the until Monday. Then, we'll meet with Dr. C again, and see where we go from here.

Whether Diana can go home today depends on two things: whether there's a leak in her lung that will need watching, and how much pain she's in. They made three small holes on her right side, and Dr. P says that's more painful than the mediastinoscopy.

I'm expecting that we'll get to see her in a couple more hours.
