She went through the surgery on Thursday at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

She was diagnosed with early-stage pancreatic cancer according to the Supreme Court.

It is believed that the disease was caught early enough that she will be just fine.

An annual check-up with her doctor late January helped them find the lesion.

The check-up was carried out at the National Institutes of Health.

A CAT scan she went through revealed the cancerous tumor in her pancreas.

It is believed that she is going to have to be in the hospital for 7 to 10 days.

As of right now though, it appears that she is going to make a full recovery.
