For those of you who may have missed it, my lymph node biopsy results came back yesterday – NEGATIVE!!! I’m so thankful to the Lord for that. One more test result (oncotype) before I know if I will need chemo or not.
I’m healing from the surgery, though this one has taken more out of me than the other. Today was my best day so far. It’s painful to move my arm (my right one, of course) and I’m bruised under my arm. The wound itself looks good. Guess this is just how this surgery is.
Otherwise, my life continues. We managed to help my dad pull off another plant sale. Sales were slow this year. Most of yesterday was a wash – literally. As usual, I’m done in. Brian has been busy with the school play, working behind the scenes. I haven’t seen him much all weekend.
And so it goes. I have an appointment scheduled with the medical oncologist on Friday that I get to cancel if the oncotype is good, so pray for that. Otherwise, my week should be quiet, which I’m grateful for. The following week I have a bunch of doctor’s appointments to make up for it. Fun, fun.
Thank you all for the prayers. They are sustaining me. Your support throughout this journey means so much.

Liz,
So, glad to hear about the first of hopefully much great news. My mom recently found a lump, had a mastectomy and started chemo all within a four week period. Our first good news came when the doctor was confident it was not stage 4 cancer (there was a scare). I definitely can relate to everything your family is going through right now. I’ll be praying for continued health and healing for you!

Too bad Dad’s sale was less than stellar – can he do it for a few more days? I had my friend Hannah K selling her perrenials at my house and it was good for her.
