My poor Abby girl had her surgery yesterday. The surgeon (who I really like) said he thinks he got it all but we have to wait for the pathology results to know for sure. He had to take most of her gracilis muscle and part of one of her adductor muscles. He also had to take part of a nerve that was going right into the tumour - he said this may have been the source of the tumour. He said it was a good sign that she was using her leg a bit soon after surgery...hopefully having to take those muscles and the nerve won't have done too much lasting damage. The thing that scares me is that he said the mass was much deeper up near her pubic region than he had anticipated. If there are cancer cells left up there amputation wouldn't be an option, leaving radiation as the only next step.
Everything crossed for good pathology results...
