GREAT NEWS!!!!

I went back to the Dr. this afternoon. Dr. Vastine says everything looks great. No infection & the drainage tubes were taken out. Hallelujah!!!  I could have kissed her for that!! Those things were so miserable. I'm so happy that they are gone. It's amazing how such little things can shape your day! The stitches will come out next Fri. Not looking forward to having to go back across the mountain, but the end is near.

There was some yucky yellow drainage on the "bad side" that I was really worried about. After talking to the Dr., she was saying that was actually a good thing because it was left over chemo & fluid from the lymph nodes that were taken out(both sides) that mixed with  the blood. It was just tyring to escape. There is a "bad spot" on the "bad side" that when the skin swelled it actually split the stitch. Hopefully this should heal itself in time, BUT for right now, that spot HURTS LIKE CRAZY!!!

I'm so happy to get rid of that awful compression bra from the hospital!! I can now wear the sports compression bras instead. At least I don't have that "boning" stuck into me. Plus I can finally sleep in my own bed tonight. Yeahhh. I've been sleeping in the recliner since I came home. Not to comfortable, ha ha!

Now for the really GREAT NEWS.....as Scott & I were heading home on the interstate, The oncologist called & said they got ALL THE CANCER!!!! The report came in this morning. During surgery, they went 2" across & 2" down to make sure they got good margins. I also am done with chemo! I have to go back in Sept. & again in Dec, but they will call me with the appt. times. I'm so happy that I'm about ready to burst!!! I can hardly believe it!!!

Thank you to everyone for all that you have been doing for my family & for me! I could NEVER repay all of your kindness, love & support! The only thing I can do is to "Pay it forward"! I hope that I can do for someone else as you all have done for me! I love you all!!
