Halle-Lu-YEAH!

God is so incredibly cool--I just love when he puts his little signatory on things. I have several stories that confirm this, just ask me sometime about how I met my husband or how we found our house.

Today's story has to do with cancer, specifically my cancer, which was evicted last Monday. Dr. T., the breast surgeon called me today with my pathology results. He said all of the lymph nodes he removed tested negative for cancer--that is soooo great! He also said that the three sentinel nodes that were tested in the operating room are all negative for cancer--what was that??? Right, there was one that was positive, so they removed a bunch more to cover for that one.

Now what's the story? He said they are "backpeddaling" now and saying the one that had cancer, does not. He said he wishes he'd had that information last Monday, because he wouldn't have whipped out the shop vac and gone at it in my armpit after all. But he says, "I can't put the genie back in the bottle."

No he can't and doggone it, I'm okay with that. To me it's God's sign that he's totally in control. Little signposts, like breadcrumbs, that say "He is here and in charge".

So, I'm several lymph nodes short of a full load, but we'll deal with that. I will see an oncologist, but Dr. T. says he thinks I have less than a 50% chance of having to have chemo. Oh, and the other "mass" that was seen in the MRI was another cancer, but it was only 4mm. Right side was clear, a victim by association, as it were.

I am celebrating by eating all of the cookies my aunt left here, watching Monday Night Football, eating popcorn on my bed and throwing back a few stool softeners. Have a great evening--on me!
