Finally some good news!

I received a call this morning from Dr. Irani's nurse telling me that my lymph node biopsy results came back negative for cancer!! YAY!!!!!! Such great news...my next step is to confirm these results are accurate by having the sentinel node procedure done. I will go in next Monday, July 25 to have the special dye injected. The dye will do its "magic" overnight and I will go in Tuesday morning for the removal of the sentinel node as well as get my port put in for my upcoming treatments. The sentinel node will be sent out for testing so will we get to WAIT for up to a week for that result to come back. The prayer is that it also comes back negative so that I can proceed with the lighter version of chemo!

One other prayer was answered last night. We were able to find our almost 1 year old puppy, Marley, a good home to be with a family that can give her all the love and attention she needs. They were excited to get her, and we were excited she was going to a great family! We will miss her as even though she was a bundle of energy, she had become a part of our family. Just knowing this new family has love and time to devote to her is very comforting for all of us.

Keep those prayers coming! Thanks again to everyone for your continued support and all the love you have shown our family!
