My surgery is coming up on Monday, July 11. It is a radical left mastectomy. They are taking all breast tissue, all lymph nodes, and as much skin as they can from the left side. I should be left with a flat scar afterward.
-God to work through my surgeon and surgical team
-Successful surgery
-Removal of all breast tissue and lymph nodes
-Quick healing and no infections
-No Lymphedema or loss of range of motion in left arm
-No cancerous cells left anywhere in my body
-Easy to manage pain
-God's peace for my family and kids
The MRI I had recently showed good progress. Praise God! I am praying hard that the good progress equals NO cancer left in my body. They take everything from surgery and send it to a lab where they will look to see how much cancer is left. If it is all gone, it's considered a pathological complete response. That is my big prayer right now. Recurrence rates drop more with that. Still not a guarantee, of course.
I am still praying for complete and permanent healing/cure so I can be here to raise my kids and grow to be an old lady.
Thank you for praying with us.
