Hi All,
This is Kelly, Ash's sister. I just heard from our Mom who is with Jason at the hospital. They just heard from the doctor and here is what we know so far. We will keep this updated when Ash gets into her room and begins the recovery process! It is about 1:15 pm now.
The first part of the surgery went very well. The plastic surgeon is working his magic currently and they should be finished in about an hour or so.
Ash went through the first part well and is holding up strong (as we knew she would!). They removed 4 lymph nodes when they originally thought they would have to take 6. That is good news. They did not find any cancer in the chest wall or cavity which is great.
Ash will have to have chemotherapy but they won't know about radiation until probably next week. From what I understand the chemo is more of a whole body cleanse and the radiation is more target specific. Chemo will start in about three weeks after the initial recovery period is well underway.
There is a lot of love in the waiting room and Ash knows that we are all here for her whether in person or with our thoughts and prayers.
I should have more for you this evening after Ash gets into her room and Jason and she are able to meet with the doctors.
Thanks for your support,
Kel & Ash

Thank you Kelly for the great update. I am so glad to hear that Ash is doing fine. She is such a strong trooper. Please let her know that I love her and my heart is so with her right now.
Thanks for the update Kelly! We're looking forward to more updates.
Thanks for the update, Kelly! So glad to hear that things are looking positive. Give Ash a big kiss for me (she can have the hug at a later time when she is further along in the healing process).
Love,
Andy in Colorado
