Thanks to you both. I'm headed to the hospital where she's staying, about 300 miles, in the morning. My brother & sister are going, too. Talked to Mom today and she sounded good. The docs have told her she's the healthiest patient they've ever seen, aside from the cancer. They expect to be able to get it all in one and it doesn't appear to have spread to any other location. If the surgery goes well they expect her to be released in a few days. If she's worried she isn't letting on. She tells me it's a pretty routine deal, but I'm going anyway. Any time they have to put you under, things can go south. I don't want to live with myself if something happens and I'm not there.
