Good News today

Mosis50

I just wanted to share my good news with the people who have prayed for me and supported me while I am fighting this battle. I had a mastectomy a week ago and today I went back to the dr. for followup and to find out about lymph node involvement. I have ZERO involvement in the lymph nodes and no more cancer was evident in the breast. PRAISE GOD!!! Thank you for all your prayers and genuine concern. You were here when I needed answers and I thank you for that. I will pray for others because I KNOW it works.

I will be starting chemotherapy in another three weeks to kill in cancer cells that are floating around. The only bad thing that I had post surgery was an infection in the drainage tubes which they changed today and put me on an antibiotic due to a high fever. I thought it was just the flu. Good thing I called the doctor. I have been so lucky to have a great support system and I thank my friends, family and new friends at this site. Thank YOU and GOD bless you each and every one.

Happy for you - we all will be!Keep up your positive strength with chemo. We are here when it is rough as you can see. Watch for any fevers when on chemo - I found out they are a big deal because cell counts get low. Good luck with recovery!!!!

Hi Susan:

That is great news!!! It's truly a bright spot when we find that the extent of the beast is at least limited! What a relief for you.

Just rest up and take good care of yourself in preparing for the upcoming chemo. For me, it wasn't so difficult. Many women get through it really well. The hair loss is typically inevitable but with the anti-nausea meds, etc., the majority of women just don't experience nausea as much of a problem anymore. If you can keep up some daily walking and/or some type of light exercise regimen, it will really make a difference. Yoga was something which wasn't overly taxing but was really beneficial for me. It also helped me to heal faster from surgery and restored my mobility very quickly. Find whatever works best for you and stick with it.

Keep that great positive attitude and good luck.

Love, light and laughter,
Ink

Thanks for sharing your good news!! Now, watch that infection - if it doesn't improve quickly, let your doc know. Sometimes they can be stubborn. My chemo was delayed trying to fight one off. Take care - Diane
