Hey all,
We met with Dr Morrell today for her after surgery follow up. The pathology report from the tissue removed showed 13 lymph nodes along with some chest muscle...ALL CANCER FREE! Yea!!! That was great news to get! She will still have to go through the chemo...we knew that, but maybe no radiation. It's just good to know that it did not spread beyond that first lymph node! They took one of the two drain tubes out, which about killed Mary. They will take the other one out in a couple days. Our next appointment is on the 22nd with the Oncologist to start the chemotherapy. Not sure if he'll start her that day or have her come back later in the Month. She is going to spend the next couple of weeks healing and getting ready mentally for the chemotherapy. All in all...it's been a good day.
Love you all,
Dave, Mary & Erin
