I really thought about letting my family continue to update the blog since they have done such a great job at writing. But I am afraid Rick may have some different words to write after three days of home health care!
We are beginning to settle into our new "normal" for awhile. I have felt okay. The incisions are not giving me any problems. But I have three drains that they inserted and they are a pain. (both figuratively and literally) I really feel once they are taken out I will feel so much better. Unfortunately it may be up to 3 weeks before they can be taken out. I will get through this part too.
Monday I will find out the pathology report. But I do not have an appointment with the oncologist until April 19th. I am sure I will have some sort of follow up treatment if there were cancer cells that traveled to the lymph nodes under my arm. Also there is something called the "oconotype" of the cancer cells that will also determine my follow-up care. I have asked God to continue to hold me up during this next part of my journey.
Once again thanks to all of you for everything. This is so hard for me to accept all the food and gift cards but thank goodness for your help. I can't imagine what we would be eating otherwise:)
If there isn't anything posted on a day don't worry. I get tired easily and Rick is too busy with household chores to write!
Love to all of you!
