Hi

HappyThanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for this year. We praise God for the good results and for taking care of me through the process. I know I wouldn't have felt the peace I did without God holding my hand.

I have a check up tomorrow with my surgeon and then on to radiation which will be the traditional 33 treatments.
I should finish up the first couple weeks of the new year just in time to regain all my stregnth for our trip in Feb.

We pray that your Thanksgiving is very special and ask that you pray for some friends whose Dad died suddenly this week. He will be missed by so many but his wife and daughter our foremost in our prayers.

Drive safe, eat well, pray often.

Praise God!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks be to God.

I am home, everything went well. Paul and I just polished off two bags of popcorn!

No lymph node involvement which is huge good news.

Talk soon,

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers,  I am going to crash.

Opps... yesterdays post


Hi Family and Friends,

My surgery is on for tomorrow morning at 11 at North Hennepin. It will be out patient surgery. I am having a lumpectomy where they just go in and take the cancer, make sure the margins are clear of cancer cells, sew you back up and out the door you go. I have to be there at 6:45, I thought that sounded like a lot of prep time but I will just be happy to have it done and get on with life. The recovery on this will be so much easier than if I had done a complete mastectomy and the cancer recurrence rates are supposedly the same regardless. It just finds a new location.

Please pray for good behavior on my part! Wisdom and skill for the surgeon. No lymph node involvement. That is really critical. If there would be lymph node involvement that would mean taking all the lymph nodes under my right arm. We really hope that isn’t necessary.

Thank you sooooo much for all your prayers nice e-mails and cards. You have made waiting this whole month more tolerable. May God bless all of you and keep you in his care.

Trusting HIM,

Carol
