Everything went really well with my surgery and I'm happy to have that part done with. I have been home recovering and letting everyone take good care of me. One day I will have time (or more realistically energy) to tell you all about my experience (mostly so that I can remember... you might not really want to hear about it).
I received wonderful news today that my pathology results were done and I had clear margins (which means no cancer in the "margins" of tissue surrounding the tumor) and also that my lymph nodes did not have any cancer cells present.
I also was able to remove my bandages today which felt really good. It's weird because the skin there is like numb, but tender all at the same time. Thankfully I haven't had much pain. I did take some strong painkillers the first few days but then felt like I didn't need them anymore. As long as I remember not to reach too far or bump into anything I barely notice it.
On Friday I have an appointment with my medical oncologist.
Thank you again so much to everyone who has been thinking or me or sent me a little something to help bring cheer. I can't tell you how much it means to me and my family. And of course we are especially thankful to my parents who are taking such good care of me and keeping our kids entertained to boot!
Love, shana
P.S. Happy Birthday to Bryce who is THREE years old today!
