Happy Dances

I have so many updates to put on here, and so many started, but, between just grabbing ALL the moments i can with my kiddos and family, plus, having numb or tingly digits, i haven’t been able to get caught up and keep caught up on updates and all that’s going on here. But, i do so appreciate all the constant love and support from all of my “fans” that have been faithfully supporting and praying and loving and carrying me through this mess, whether you are family, friend, tribal member, one of my medical team and caretakers or a passing acquaintance following along, it all means the world to me and to my family!! In the last day suddenly i feel like i’ve Ridden the roller coaster at full speed to suddenly be slammed to a halt, and as my niece said, ALL the lights at the end of this tunnel are in view!! Trust me, i am by no means complaining, i long to get back to a normal of sorts, to pre-cancer, and just live fully, painlessly, appointmentless each day!! I wanna run away with my hubby for a time and with my kiddos and make up for the past half year i’ve felt a bit cheated out of. Anyway, a brief update on the last 2 weeks, and no, just cause i’m skipping ahead and giving a now update doesn’t mean i’ve forgotten or am skipping all the updates since my last post, i’m Gonna need to post all that for my own “diary” documentation and sanity at some point but for now, it’s present day!!
So, July 12 was my double mastectomy surgery......it’s been 2 weeks of a lot of running and many appointments since. The surgery went good, the pain since has been constant though thankfully not unbearable, am super excited to have all 4 drain tubes out after almost 2 weeks of sleeping in basically one position, elevated on my back, and having to strip tubes and measure fluid. Today is ovarian surgery, a chance it could be out patient, but going with a one night stay bag in tow in case. I met with my cancer dr. On Tuesday, love, my Dr. Lee!! She was over the moon with my pathology report!! the large marginal area round the tumor site they tested is cancer clear, the 3 lymph nodes they biopsies are cancer clear and the only remaining bit of tumor was like 3ml worth. She says no radiation at this point and i don’t need to see her for another 3 months. They are still waiting on a few test results to get back and if they come back as she’s hoping i can then go get my medi port removed!!!. So.....it’s almost time for me to head to the next surgery, but thankyou everyone for your prayers and support, these happy news results and times of celebration are because of prayers being answered!! Don’t have time to post my song, gotta run!!!
