Mom had lung surgery on 5/14 to remove the cancerous tumor that was in her right lung. They got the tumor out and did testing on it. The testing was inconclusive for the type of cancer, so the surgeon decided to treat mom as if she had lung cancer. That required opening up her side and removing the rest of that lobe of her lung, taking lymph nodes and tissue samples for biopsy.
We will not know the results of the testing until late next week.
Mom is currently in ICU and will not be out of there until she is up and walking. I hope that she's mobile within a couple of days because if she's not, she's at risk for pneumonia setting in.
