Jamie and I are thankful tonight after having met with the oncologist today. We know that prayers are already being answered!
Here's what we know...initially my surgeon and the oncologist felt they needed to hit me head on with chemotherapy first, then do surgery, then radiation in order to successfully treat this cancer. However, as more test results come in, they have begun to step back and reconsider. We were told today that now they are thinking they might can just do surgery and then radiation...and only do chemo if it has spread to my lymph nodes, which right now they do not think has happened.
So, there are more tests to be done, and decisions to be made regarding lumpectomy vs. mastectomy, and it is still a battle with cancer, but just hearing them tell us that it doesn't seem to be as bad as they initially thought, allows us to take a deep breath and thank God for this wonderful little piece of positive news.
Thanking everyone again for all of the many prayers being said on our behalf. Please keep praying!
