Dear Ones:

You are all so wonderful and we love you so much and your prayers and good wishes worked!

I went to the oncologist, Debra Patt - you can google her, today and it was good news. Debra is very pleased with everything. All of my tests came back fine. She said that the PET Scan did show the spot on my right lung slightly. It is too small to biopsy and she is not worried about it at all. She said it could be from my biopsy, or an infection or whatever. Whatever, she said she's going to watch it but is not worried at all. The bone scan came back fine too. She also said it's be very unusual to have cancer in the lung too.

So, all's a go. We had another discussion lumpectomy v. mastectomy. She said lumpectomy with radiation = mastectomy. She said that I am lucky, I have bodacious tatas (not her words), there's lots of breast and if everything were equal and it was her she'd have a lumpectomy. She said, 5 years from now, when I am cured she doesn't want me to have a reminder of what was. So, I'm not going to complain about my boobs again!

What a relief.  My blood pressure 1 week ago was 160/80, today it was 102/80. I feel now I can handle whatever comes my way. I am ready for the fight. I am actually anxious to get started.

The surgeon will call me tomorrow to set the surgery date. I'll see Debra 2 weeks after the surgery and we'll come up (we'll ha, she'll) with a potion. I will get either 3 or 6 months of chemo followed by radiation.

I know I'm not out of the woods and I thank God every day for everything I have especially George. He is a Prince! I still need each and every one of you and your prayers. I can't thank you enough for everything y'all have done for us.

We will continue keeping each and every one of you in our thoughts and prayers.
