The 3rd tumor was benign (thank God!) and the liver cysts are nothing to worry about. So I have a lumpectomy and lymph node removal scheduled for September 16th. I actually go home the same day. There will be 3 to 4 weeks of recovery during which I'm not allowed to work. Thereafter I will have 4 - 5 months of chemotherapy and then radiation for 5 weeks. If all goes smoothly and they manage to get all of the cancer, I should be ok by next April or so.
It's going to be a bumpy, unpleasant ride but at least I know where I'm going.
Thanks to all for the prayers and good thoughts! Thanks to everyone for putting me on your various prayer lists. Please keep them coming - it really helps and gives me peace of mind!

Heidi,
ReplyDeleteI have just read all your updates and feel for you so. Having been through all of this I, probably more than anyone, understand what you are going though and think about you each day.
Please, if you ever want to talk or cry or whatever, I promise you I will not share any of my stories but will just be there to listen. It is tough, I will not lie, but again, look at me and my success story, ovarian cancer survivor, 2 beautiful babies and let that help you get through this. And you will get through this. Spring will be here before you know it.
I send you and your family much love,
Alix
