Aloha all~ I am here, I am doing well. I will explain what my morning was like yesterday. We left early arrived at hospital around 6am. Started out by changing into my new outfit, purple socks and gown. Then I went and had 3 procedures. 1) a small wire was interested into the mass using an ultrasound 2) mammogram 3) dye was inserted and sent to lymph nodes and pictures were taken. I was all done with that about 8:45am. I met lots of caring professionals along the way. By the time I met the OR nurse around 9:30 I was getting pretty hungry! Thanking God my surgery was moved earlier. After surgery I woke up feeling like it had just started, but it was over! I was thirsty and had some ice, graduated to cranberry juice then granola bar. I never got nauseous. I was very peaceful the whole morning. I have had 13 dr appointments in 4 weeks. It was a relief to be there yesterday because even though I don't know the road ahead it was a big step in the road. All the appointments were leading up to it. Thank you thank you to all of you for sending literal gifts, messages, prayers and encouragements all day yesterday and today.
Here's what I know God is good We meet with Dr. Peterson thursday to review the pathology from surgery If you're on the fence about trying an Acia (ah-see-eye) bowl take the plunge, they're tasty Here's what I don't know If they got all the cancer out, confirmation pending What kind and duration of treatment types Praises Feeling well and alert No spreading in the lymph nodes Not having too much pain We left the green bump in the hospital as we drove home Prayer Requests Pain, comfort and sleep improvement Confirmation that all cancer was removed Identify the right oncologist for our situation What You Can Do for Me Pray for others I know near and far who are also dealing with cancer...Virginia, Eric and Kassidy What Makes Today Normal Daniel doesn't like brushing his teeth.

Thank you for this great update. It takes energy. Sometimes more than convincing children to brush teeth. ;-)
