Great News!

Dr. Cocilovo, Daniela's surgical oncologist, informed me this morning (after she was done with her part of the surgery) that Daniela's lymph nodes were negative, i.e., cancer-free. Her double mastectomy was a success according to Dr. Cocilovo. A few hours later, Dr. Nahabedian, Daniela's plastic surgeon, informed me that his part of the surgery was also a success. The surgery was almost five hours long.

It is now, 1:40-something p.m., and Daniela is in the recovery room, still sleeping.

Ken, are you in trouble for the photo shoot? I thought Daniela said no hospital pictures...but she looks so beautiful I can see why you couldn't resist.

Hugs and kisses all around, and remember if you need me, just call.
