For an update Rachel has made it through surgery this evening. We are very fortunate to have Dr. Almefty, Dr. Le and their team today.
Per the surgeon they got the majority of the tumor, some nerve side effects (double vision, etc.) which we’ll have to see how they resolve in the next few weeks. Overall she is awake but in pain (which is within expectations).
Should have more information this week.
