After surgery update on Becky

Becky just came out of surgery a couple hours ago; she is still very sleepy, as the drugs have not worn of yet. Now we are waiting to see how she feels. I am sure it will take a few days of recovery before we know if this has taken the pressure off her tumor. Next we will have to see if NIH will still accept her in the TIL trial as they would prefer her not to have a foreign object in her body. The chance of infections is much greater since the TIL entails wiping out her immune system.
