BW had her surgery on last Tuesday but didn't come home until Thursday evening. This is because the 'little biopsy' turned into a major surgery involving the removal of most of a rib, some of the surrounding muscle, and part of the lining for her lung that had formed an adhesion to the tumor.
We won't find out until Monday what the pathology is for the tumor, but they are assuming that it is cancer. She'll be meeting with the oncologist next week to discuss next steps.
I had a traffic ticket a while ago and yesterday was my court date. BW's sister was visiting so I went to the courthouse to plead my case. I saw how many people were there, and realized it would take most of the day so I decided to just pay the fine and head home to be with BW.
