Good News!

Everyone needs good news. And praise the Lord, today I got some! This morning my Surgeon gave me the results of my surgery. The tissue removed from the tumor site showed no cancerous cells! More good news! The sentinel lymph node was clear as well! All of this means that there has been no spread of my cancer. I am so encouraged by that news. Now we will move forward with the treatment to make sure there are no sneaky cells hanging around. I will be contacted by the BC Cancer Agency in the next few weeks to get the radiation scheduled. The end is in sight! Only four more days of IV antibiotics, as well. Monday I am going to go back to work. Thank you all for prayers, support, meals, visits and phone calls.

Here we go!

Finally, after a false start and what feels like a very long wait, my surgery is upon us!  Tomorrow at 12:55 pm the surgeon is going to perform a partial mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy.

I feel like, after a month long wait, I am finally about to begin my fight to beat this cancer.  There are still many unknowns, but the treatment is beginning.

I have been overwhelmed  by all the support that I have received, and the offers for help.  What a blessing to be surrounded by so many friends and family.

Thank you for joining me on my journey!
