First results of the angiogram and embolization

Hey Everybody!
Well, the doctor just came out and told us that he had finished the angiogram. He had come in earlier to get the films. We didn't know why and that was ok. It turns out, he couldn't find anything at first of a vascular nature. After looking at the films, he went back and found only a very small part that need embolizing. Thus, this tumor is not significantly vascular. What that should mean is that it is mostly tissue and not blood. The surgery should be cleaner in regard to blood flow. So, for the time being we are waiting for her to be moved to recovery and then we should be able to see her. She still has to wake up.
That is all to tell right now. You're getting this info pretty much on the minute.
Tomorrow, her surgery starts at 7:00 a.m. She will stay in the hospital tonight.
More to come as it develops.

Jeff
