This week

Tuesday we had a surgical consult for a tissue biopsy and yesterday, on Thursday, the surgeon removed some lymph nodes from under her left arm. We were at Lancaster General from 8 until noon and she was still groggy and hurting for the rest of the day.

Best news was that the surgeon did not see any abnormal cells. He took what he could find, and said maybe this is the best news for us. We will find out more next Friday at the oncologist appointment (or before), but we are hopeful with the surgeon's findings. Maybe she has a stage 2 cancer left, and the stage 3 was killed with the chemo last year. Could this be a "Wait and See" type of cancer that is left? Don't know, but I am very hopeful. This all matches what the second PET scan showed - a smaller hot spot after 1 1/2 months, not growth of the tumors.

Rain for the weekend and then a string of bright sunny days next week. The Corvette is washed and ready to rumble out of the garage. I need to get the hardtop off of it, so the convertible top can be used, but hopefully that will go better this Spring, last Fall it refused to come off.

Thanks be to the Lord for His mercy and Love. He has been wonderful to us this year.
