No one has posted since last summer! Until now :) I am happy to say we've come a long way since then. Brent is cancer free and has a year of college behind him! The future looks bright. Yes mom, bright! I am grateful for a loving family, children who I love (even though being a mom is the toughest thing to do), and a husband who is always upbeat and positive!

MRI Results

I just got a call from my doctor. The MRI shows no cancer in the left breast (that is for you Jeff). It also does not show anything abnormal under my right arm. They look under the arm for abnormalities in the lymph nodes. It did show something abnormal, or a "hot spot" in one rib under my chest close to the cancer. I told her about my breaking some ribs in the same area and she thinks that the MRI is probably picking that up. They have ordered a bone scan to be thorough.

Group Fast

We moved the surgery up to the end of this month. June 25th at 8:30 AM. There is no time to wait for a fast sunday to come around so we are going to fast this Sunday.

I have my final test on Thursday. A breast (or peck - just for you Jeff) MRI. This should give the doctors a better idea about my lymph nodes before surgery and see if there is cancer on the other side that can't be felt yet. If there is cancer, they will do both sides on Friday. We don't think that will happen.

I look forward to having a cancer free chest the will forever be winking.; )

I'll let you know if anything else changes.

Cancer Info

It is to hard to post this information in two places. I have posted better chest pictures on another blog and given some information about what is to come. You can see it HERE.

Man-O-Gram

This is what my cancer looks like. It is directly under my nipple.

I updated the picture to explain it a little better.

I went to the doctor today. I have an appointment with an Oncologist later this week. We will get his opinion and the opinion of another doctor before surgery. The surgery will probably happen the middle or end of July. Everything still looks good. I will post the results from future test if they change things. Before surgery I have to do an EKG, Chest Scan and some blood work to test for genetic markers.
