First Hurdle

Surgery today. Tumor and two nodes gone. First node: clear. Second node: suspicious cells that require further testing, but not necessarily cancer. So, all in all, good!

Not feeling much pain right now, but vicodin is my friend. :) Wine my friend in 24 hours. :)

Taking Monday and Tuesday off from school. Will meet with Dr. Rayhanabad, surgeon, on Wednesday. Headed to Santa Barbara Wednesday night for Thanksgiving with Jeanne's family. Will meet with Dr. Janis, oncologist, on Monday, Nov. 30.

Biggest question: what lies ahead with treatment?

    Jeanne, you are loved. Everytime you come to mind, I pray for a "best" outcome. I know you still have a road of chemo and radiation ahead, but know your friends in the outer circle care deeply for you and your recovery. Your doctors are top notch and your God has his hand on your coming and your going. Bless you this day, and may you have peace and a restful night.
