Well today was the day. We "checked in" at about 7am and and we both were able to follow her to the operating theatre untill she was in deep sleep by 09:15. As you can imagine we had some difficulty leaving her in the care of the doctors. The operation took up to five and a half hours, but the doctors declared it a complete success! They said that as far as they could see it, at least 95% of the tumour was removed. According to the doctors it was an operation in "tiger land", meaning that all the major arteries and nerves run through that area. Hence the long duration.
She is now on the intensive care unit and is still drifting in and out of pain, but expectations are that she can go tomorrow to the daycare recovery ward.
Thank you all so much once again for your continuous support and prayers. She has been and still is in God's hands and He has given us all the strength and encouragement to face this journey from the beginning.
That's great news! Now you definitely can/will have a splendid X-mas :)
