You would think after everything I’ve been through I’d be used to The Plan never really being the real plan. I should have learned. Maybe I did learn, I just forgot. Anyways, the surgeon called this morning with the pathology results from last week’s surgery…
Surgery again! #3 will happen on Wednesday. Even though she took a little extra for good measure, we didn’t get clear margins, one more little speck to go!
We know the drill – off to Faulkner Hospital, surgical wear, sleepy drugs, recovery room, ginger ale & a corn muffin and an ice pack to go.
Anyways, this pushes my chemo schedule a week which will now start Friday, November 2nd. Polly Planner will just have to adjust. I need to stay focused on my 3 main goals right now:
#1 – Live another healthy 40 years
#2 – Save Lefty (a real trooper, she deserves it!)
#3 – Get treatments done by May and not mess up my summer
So, that’s the story, at least what the doctors are telling me…Greg thinks they need to go back in for a lost Junior Mint!
Oh My Tiny Little Pea Head! 
May they find the Junior Mint AND clear the margin quickly and with as little pain as possible!
Thanks Martha! I feel like a pro now, even though I’m out cold during the whole thing!
Oh Deb…this too, you will get through! I think God wants to be sure you understand the surgery process before moving to chemo. You have three good goals…keep your eyes on the prize! My prayers are with you always…extra coming your way on Wednesday:-). Tell Greg I said, “Great coaching tonight!”.
Thanks Tricia! Good to see you today…they are downstairs now with the game film making sure they really won. 🙂
We will say extra prayers for you!! And lets hope third time is the LAST TIME!!
As they say “the third time is a charm”. So sorry you have to go through this again, but the doctors are going to get it this time!! XOXO Gail
Thinking of you…..sending love.
