Update 10:10
Andrea is out of surgery. Every thing went well. A few surprisees in the OR.
The tumer was actually a schwannoma. this is still a benign type of tumer. this type grows out of the nerve fibers. I was inside the cavernous sinous not on the outside as originally thought.
It came out well but took a lot longer than first estimated. The Dr. is happy with the result. There may be some residual problems with the right eye as it started from the optic nerve. The optic motor nerve was well preserved. The carotit artery is well preserved.
There is a chance that it can regrow so we will be looking at some radation therapy to make sure that it is dead. This type responds very well to radiation.
The sample has been sent to the lab for analysis. we will have the results in about 2 weeks.
She is getting the MRI now and we will see her shortly.
That is all for tonight. I will make some updates tomorrow after we see her.
