Marlin and I traveled to St. Louis on Tuesday for follow up with my surgeon. She was pleased with my healing and removed the 2 drains. I had nearly immediate relief from discomfort. Dr. M. shared with me the pathology report - 33 lymph nodes removed and 12 had cancer, the tumors are ER/PR and HER2neu negative, a bit different than last time. This cancer is termed "triple negative" and is considered aggressive. Treatment plans were discussed by the team in St. Louis and the oncologist will discuss the team's recommendations with my oncologist in Pittsburg. I see him next week.
I am praying and thinking about future treatments. I am less in a rush to begin this next round. I hate that cancer "takes over" your life. I am refusing to let it be the center of mine. I will lean on Jesus to help me through the next few months.
I appreciate my pastor's "thought for the day" that I'll share.
When you've exhausted all possibilities, remember this: You haven't.
