Axillary lymph node disection was performed this morning by Vascular Surgeon Dr. John Crawford. The surgery took about an hour and a half. We arrived at the hospital at 7am and left about 1:45pm. The doctor reported the surgery went well. Other than two lymph nodes appearing inflamed everything else was normal. There's a drain tube installed to drain the fluid from the area. Pathology report from biopsy is expected by 3/17 and the doctor requested a follow up appointment for 3/18 if drainage is below 30cc in last 24 hour period, otherwise the follow up will be delayed until 3/22.
