Uncertainty About The Spots

Surgery went well on Tuesday...once again, I slept right through it! As always, I was happy to see my family when I woke up! There was a little change at the last moment when my oncologist decided to have the surgeon leave in my chemo port...hmmm??? This is a result of the two spots they saw on the bone scan the previous Friday. My sister picked up the films and brought them to me so that Art could take them to Valley Radiology today and have them compared with their x-rays (at the doctors request). We haven't heard anything back from them yet, so of course, we're just wondering what's around the corner and praying about the outcome!!

I felt a little anxious because I had never been a patient at St. Joes but since that is where my doc wanted to schedule surgery and he's a key player, I decided I would comply with his wishes! Two of my friends from my Home Team (Bible study) work at St. Joes and so I was greeted and hugged by each of them before my surgery and before they went home from working all night! Thanks Beth and Colette for taking time to encourage me!

I'm pretty sore but getting better each day. I said the doc lied to me when he said it wouldn't be as bad as last time...guess he's never had expanders put in his chest!! Thanks for your prayers for my recovery and the uncertainty about the spots. Please pray that the doc will have wisdom as he evaluates and makes decisions!
