They took out Grandma's lung. Apparently they decided to move her surgery up from four to before noon without telling anyone, so by the time I thought Grandma was going in, the surgery was about over. Took over twice as long as they thought, and there was a lot of blood, she needed a transfusion. They said they couldn't really check because of the blood, but they're pretty sure there's more cancer in there. But with the lung out, the doctors say she should be more comfortable. So from a quality of life standpoint, it sounds like the surgery should be successful. But again, time will tell.
