Thanks to all for your support and prayers.
I've finally had surgery. I had a mastectomy on May 23 and was sent home the afternoon of the 24th. This is the first surgery I've ever had and from all the doctors said, I did very well. Thank the Lord my mom is here to help plus I have many friends that will drive me to appts. and are providing meals.
It is now roughly 5 1/2 days since surgery and everyone around me feels that I am doing well and am in good spirits. I couldn't imagine going through this without Jesus and the love of friends and family.
I was late getting into surgery, was scheduled for somewhere around 10 but the case before me went long. I finally got in at a little after 1pm and was out after about 4 hours. Being a county hospital, I never met the residents who were doing the surgery BEFORE the surgery but I knew that I was in God's hands. Many were praying for THE BEST. It seemed that I had a great team. It took a while for us to get in touch with the doctor that did the surgery and when she finally called and talked to dh, dh said she sounded exhausted. Anyway, long story short. They found cancer in the sentinal lymph node during surgery and had to go in and get more. They took the level 1 and level 2 nodes but left the deepest ones. They said they took somewhere around 10 nodes but never know for sure how many they got. This means some sort of chemo for sure and another surgery down the line to reconstruct.
Again! Thanks for all your prayers and comments. Even though I don't get here to update as often, I get to read the comments and feel very encouraged. |
