I'm back!! Monday I had surgery for the lump in my breast and my lymph nodes. The scariest part - on Monday was the anesthesia, I wasn't worried about the fact that they might have to go back in and take more lymph node "stuff", I was worried about waking up and being OK from surgery!!
Well, obviously, I'm here and I'm good! As I have noted before I am sore - I'm a little reluctant to use my arm as I would like but I do, and then I forget that I just had surgery and I find I over extend my arm and it hurts! The pain is truly not what I expected - its much easier to deal with - sleeping s the issue, not the pain.
So, the waiting game has begun...again!! The waiting is the worst part - as with all the other tests I have gone through - as many men and women have endured - the waiting is the worst, well.............I got the call from the surgeon!!!
"They looked over all the samples and the slides of everything that was taken out of me, THERE IS NO CANCER TO BE FOUND"!!!!!
Can you believe it - I'm so happy - Cancer Free - I didn't think that would be a part of my vocabulary for quite some time - my surgeon said - cancer free!!!!
I still have to go for chemo (herceptin) and radiation but I'm CANCER FREE!!!!!
Now, this is according to my surgeon - she said she has never seen this in her experience but has heard about it through colleagues!! I have to say though - the chemo kicked my ass so I really wouldn't be surprised if, in fact, I am Cancer Free!!!!
I'm not telling you to stop the prayers and happy thoughts sent my way, please keep them coming - we are not out of this - just yet - but we are that much closer and from this point on - I hope that all I have to write about is good news!!!
Keep Smiling - you know I truly am!!!!!
Thank you all for the prayers and good thoughts - they have kept me going and continue to help me through!!
