November 17, 2014 - Great Report!

I got a call from my doctor's office a little while ago; it was his wonderful nurse who called instead of him, which made me feel at ease immediately!  He is generally the one who calls to deliver not-so-good news.

They got the final pathology report back from my surgery, and my lymph nodes are officially clear!  That is such good news.  I asked her if that means tamoxifen and no chemo.  She said that we will be looking at several factors and I'll be going to a medical oncologist before making a final decision.  She also said the tumor was about the size they had anticipated.   So all in all, a great conversation and great news.

I'm making a pretty quick recovery, and thankful for so many things:

• Very thankful for Tony, Mindy and Kelli, who are really watching out for me!  
• Thankful for doctors who gave us their cell phone number so we could communicate details on weekends!
• Thankful for John's mom, Linda Williford, who came to town to stay with Kelli and John's kids so Kelli can help me.
• Thankful for all the people that God has put on this path to help us - Jennifer Jones, thank you for the Chloraseptic and jello - they were exactly what I needed!  :)  
• Thankful for all our family and friends who have offered to bring meals, run errands, and take care of things - we are well-covered in all those areas!  
• Thankful for all the people praying for us.  
• Thankful for the healing that God is bringing, and for His constant peace and reassurance.

We can feel the prayers.  We are blessed!
