While we started about an hour late, the cancer excision and the chemo port insertion went very well. She did NOT get any more drains put in (huge blessing and answer to prayer). She has already gotten up and walked a bit!
I expect to take her home in the next hour or two and let her sleep in her own bed tonight.
Here are the next steps:
- Rest and heal from today's surgery
- Next Tuesday is her PET scan - to see if there is cancer cells anywhere else in her body
- Wednesday is follow up with Oncologist - we should get final recommendation and schedule for starting chemotherapy
- Thursday is Julie's birthday - BIG celebration!
- Friday its back to the plastic surgeon to re-start expansion process again
Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts and help!
More updates soon.
Praise God for answer to prayer! Praying God leads you each day in the coming week and you experience His presence like never before.
