Continuing on

My last chemo treatment w/ my mom,
and the world's best nurse, Sheree

I cannot believe almost a month has passed since my last chemo treatment.  The first couple weeks post treatment are really a blur, as I rested, and began recovering in order to have surgery.
To say that I've been tired and felt as if I had few words would be a definite understatement.
I am however getting stronger, and even growing some hair back already!

* Here is an update and some great news as to where things are currently:

Yesterday, I had a number of scans in order to prepare for surgery on this coming Tuesday, and guess what?...
There are absolutely no visible signs of tumors!  Woohoo!  Thanks be to God!
A couple of the doctors mentioned that it is not often they see this- it is as if the tumors just melted away.  Last night, as I went on my walk, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for God's healing, his presence, and community during this time.

* One issue I want to ask you to pray for:

In one of the former tumor areas, they cannot find the marker they inserted in order to guide them to the tumor area.  The good news obviously is that the tumor is gone, the bad news is that the surgeon has no way to know exactly what to cut out.

There is one marker in the other tumor, and she will use that, along with older scans of the other area to do a lumpectomy.
  (*Being able to have a lumpectomy is also a huge answer to prayer!*)

• Please pray for my surgeon Dr. Johnson as she seeks out the best way to go about the surgery, and that she is able to remove the full area she needs to.

• Please also continue to pray that there are no cancer cells left in any area of my body, and that pathology results after surgery come back cancer-free! 

Thank you for continuing to pray for me and walk with me!  I am so blessed you!

With love~
