So I'm sure you all would like some good news about now. It seems like every time I went to the doctor I got bad news. Well the bad luck streak has been broken! Yesterday I went for my first follow up. Even though they were 95% sure my lymph nodes were fine...now they are 100% sure. Also, I've been very nervous for some reason about what stage it is. You know me, I'll all about the numbers. It's stage 1...that's right...stage ONE!!! Radiation is out, he said he didn't see any need for it since it wasn't in my lymph nodes and with the mastectomy he feels confident that the cancer is gone. Since I started seeing him he was always pretty definite about chemo. Now he's not so sure that I'll have to, he said probably but not definite. I'm meeting with the oncologist Feb 25th to see what she thinks. And I'm sure you all know about these drains I have. The less I do...the quicker they come out. Well, the left one is out, but the right one has to stay at least another week. So if you see me wearing a sling don't be alarmed...I'm just trying not to use my right arm. Honestly, I probably shouldn't be typing so I'll finish up real quick before Reed comes down and yells at me.
Lots of good news yesterday...your prayers are working! Don't stop now!
