Operable. We spoke to the surgeon this morning, and the radiologist read our films. There is still cancer in the breast, in several spots, but it is AWAY from the chest wall, and the cancer is operable. We’re headed to surgery in January. Praise God. After 6 months of chemotherapy, the cancer is now operable.
I know it’s Christmas Eve, but I couldn’t wait to tell you the good news.
Wishing you peace, joy, and laughter ….

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Congratulations! I just have to tell you of another service your blog has provided. I’m a social worker & had to accompany a client to her full body pet/cat scan and appoinment with her Dr – for him to give her the diagnosis. (Not the easiest day in the world…) Because I’ve been reading your blog I knew questions to ask, things to look for….
Thanks!
