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!
