Greetings Everyone!
I just spoke with Jan on the phone... :)
Jan received her pathology report from her surgeon this morning. The lymph nodes were negative and there was no cancer on the left side!!! I cried with relief...and then laughed and cried with relief.
This is very very very good news. Jan said: "This means that I will not be having radiation for one thing...I will still be having Chemo treatment, but...this is huge (good news)." Whew... many sighs of relief! :)
Jan said that it is still the plan to go home tomorrow. :)
We talked for a bit...and Jan brought up what perhaps a different story could be happening right now, if we hadn't gone in for our genetic testing...and had our previous prophylactic surgeries....where they were able to find (and remove) the cancer in situ in her fallopian tube...
We discussed how important it is to be proactive against this disease... and she said "I thought of something that people can do.... You know how when they ask what they can do for me? Well, knowing that they are getting their checks...is what would really be great for me."
I love my sister, my friend.
Then, her other surgeon walked into the room...So, we got off the phone, but plan to talk more later. I told her I was already starting a new blog for today.
Thank You and you. Amen.
