We had an appointment with the Surgeon today and found out that i have no live cancer cells left in my body. There were some pre-cancerous cells, but that is normal. Therefore i start radiation in 2-3 weeks.
My recovery is fine, but i came down with a stomach virus this weekend and it took every ML of Vicadin we had in the house to get me thru it. The pain from my surgical area was unbelievable and the drainage went from 10 ml to 160 ml. I guess the pressure was even greater than we thought.
Thank goodness for Travis again. He not only took great care of me, but slept on the couch last night so i could get some rest in my comfy chair and would not have to be so far away just in case i needed help. What a great husband.
Sammy wants me to also thank her for all her love and support. She did dishes, made salad, gave me lots of hugs and kisses, and even took care of Gavin when i needed to rest. She is the best daughter ever.
Sammy also wants me to say that Gavin is the love of my life when it comes to little blue eyed, blond, bow-legged, toddler baby boys. (Sammy was appalled when i called him just a baby)

I was driving the other day and Hit Me with Your Best Shot came on and girlfriend - I blasted that song thinking about you. your latest news is fantastic! Radiation has nothing on you sister. I second and third Ham & Tab - when you come back to Cali I cannot wait to see you. Hey - we can stop by a bar and in unison say, "Hey Bartender...hit us with your best shot!" Hugs, Temple
Dear Laura I hope you are okay.Could we have a play date some time soon please.Tell Sammy I said hi.I am glad she is my friend.Love Rachel
I think your radiation starts today, so good luck with that. I'll be thinking good thoughts that the side effects won't be bad. Love you.
