Good News

We just got home from my post-op visit and have good news to share. The lymph nodes that were removed are free of cancer...thank the Lord! I had prepared myself for different scenarios so I would be ready and thankfully I heard the news I wanted. My leg looks good according to my surgeon but to me it looks like I was bit by a shark ( a really big shark), so that's my new story and I'm sticking to it, I think it will make things a bit more interesting.  Thank you so much my friends for your prayers and good wishes, I feel you all have helped me through this. I am so happy we will be able to make the trip back to Connecticut to be with my MIL who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. My MIL is an amazing woman and has helped me through this ordeal and I hope I can do the same for her.

Blessing to you all!

    I'm sorry about your MIL, but it is good you will be able to visit and she won't need to worry about you.

    God was watching out for you! What a great Christmas present! Your surgery sounds very much like one my friend had about 15 years ago ... she had some cancer in the lymph nodes but is well today.
