Them Tests They Do


I'm so thankful that my surgery went well and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. It seems to be the same way with my test results as well. After I had my surgery where at least two and maybe a few more lymph nodes were removed I was sent to get blood work and then to the nuclear department to be filled with radioactive dye and yummy strawberry kiwi crystal light reactive juice for a CT scan of my chest, adomen and pelvis. After that I was allowed to eat and I have to admit I was starving and the hospital food was pretty good. Then it was back to the bone scan and then I was on the way home in the capable and caring hands of my wonderful friend. God sends us special people in our lives because he is smart like that and so about 5 months ago he sent me one. I've always wondered if you could have a friend of the opposite sex for a best type friend without having the sex type friend and now I can answer that...yes you can!!!! So I thank God for my heaven sent Jimmie who kept me positive, calm and reassured the whole way.

When I arrived at home back in Batesville my mom was here to greet me and it was a wonderful site to be sure. How very fortunate I am to still have my mother with me and that she can still drive and is a very active almost 83 year old....but don't tell her that she thinks she's 39!!! She will be here with me until Thursday and then my friend Karen will come to stay a couple days. In the mean time I have been overwhelmed by the amount of love shown by the cards, flowers, food and visits I have recieved.

My precious clients made me homemade cards that not only touched my heart but my funny bones as well... here are just a couple of the inscrpitions or tags from a few: BREAST CANCER ALERT!!!! GET WELL SOON, MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU, WE PRAY FOR YOU EVERY DAY, I LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, WITH EVERY HEARTBEAT I THINK AND PRAY FOR YOU, GET WELL SOON YOU BRIGHTEN UP EACH CLASS WITH YOUR SMILE THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH, HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL AND ON THE MEND AND HAVE A HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, HAPPY VALENTINES' DAY AND GET WELL. and one of my favorites..

Sandra...we say your name....HERE'S LOOKING A YOU KID....YOU BETTER GET WELL, YOU BETTER GET WELL, COS IF YOU DON'T, WHAT WE'LL WE DO? YOU BETTER FLY, I'LL TELL YOU WHY, IF YOU DON'T WHAT WILL WE DO?

from Mike....at slow kite productions!

Now how in the world could I not be having fun with a group of folks like that? And the cards are very colorful as well. .so God bless them all!

And again thank all of you for your well wishes, thoughts, support and prayers and some day, my journal will be about something other than BC.

My test results from the scans and blood labs have come back clear with the exception of one spot on an ovary that they suspect is a cyst and I do have a history of those, so that's good. I will get the results of the nodes and other tissue today. Monday the 9th is my return visit and we will discuss treatment options and get that started.

So as usual .....stay tuned the best is yet to come!
