The early report on sis...

Thanks everyone for all your support - you folks rock! My sister Pam is still in surgery but the breast surgeon's job is done. Pathology will be back Friday... however, her sentinel lymph node on the one side tested positive for cancer. I wasn't really expecting that so I'm a bit floored. I'm sure there will be some intensive chemo in Pam's future. The drugs they have these days are terrific though so we will all remain quite positive. The plastic surgeon is still working on the reconstructive part of the surgery and that is expected to take many more hours. Thanks again for all the prayers and positive thoughts... the road ahead will be a long one... Kathy

Wow. That's too bad about the lymph node. They really are doing great things with chemo. My sister-in-law is in remission from ovarian cancer right now, it's pretty amazing. Eileen

Kathy, I hope that by now you've heard that your sister is out of surgery completely and resting well. I'm so sorry to hear about her lymph node, but it's a blessing that they've caught it now and can treat her with the wonderful medical treatments available. Know that you and your sister continue to be in my prayers. Have a great day, Wanda
