Update from Mom

[AngieDoogles]

Mom wanted to me to let everyone know that she's doing alright. The surgery was successful. She is tired, sore, and nauseous, but in good spirits. Her surgeon is very pleased with her progress and says the chemo was very effective. He says she'll still need radiation, but it's likely that she won't be needing any more chemo. We are all very relieved.

[judy]

Wonderful! That is such good news. Please send your Mom my love.

I'm sending you a big hug. I know how worried you were.

Love,
Judy

[katcarasella]

Blessed Savior, I thank you that Debbie's operation is safely past, and now she rests in your abiding presence, relaxing every tension, releasing every care and anxiety, receiving more and more of your healing life into every part of her being. In moments of pain She turns to you for strength, in times of loneliness she'll feel your loving nearness. Grant that your life and love and joy may flow through her for the healing of others in your name. Amen.

[janc]

I'm so happy for your mom. May she recover quickly.

Mom has had some trouble tonight. Some of the stitches around her drainage tubes are coming loose. she paged the doctor on call and he told her just to tape them up for the night and to come in the office to have it restitched in the morning. We are hoping that her doctor will go ahead and take the tubes out since they are to come out Thursday morning anyway. She can use all your thoughts tonight. She isn't sleeping in her bed tonight because we think that may have been how they are coming loose. It is hard to keep them from pulling while she lays down so she is sleeping in a recliner.

I'm sorry that she is having troubles again. I will say a prayer for her and keep her lifted up. I hope this all passes soon...I know this has been a rough ride for everyone :(

[Janet]

Traci, please tell Debbie she is still in my prayers. I hope she's not too uncomfortable. Let us know soon what the Dr. decided to do.

[DianaB]

I'm praying too!!

[AngieDoogles]

Mom says the tape is working and helping to keep the tube in place. We're just hoping it stays until Thursday when she has her follow-up appointment with the surgeon.

Thanks for all you thoughts and prayers. :ghug:

[Tink]

My prayers continue for Debbie.
I'm glad the tape's working.

[AngieDoogles]

Mom's surgeon just called to say that her pathology reports came back. There was no cancer in the lymph nodes and they got everything from the breast! We are SO happy!!!! You should see me bouncing around...lol

She's still having problems with the tubes, but those will come out tomorrow so that's good.

Anyway, just thought I'd share the good news.

[goofywife]

Woooo Hooooo!!! What great news!

[AngieDoogles]

Mom tried to come and tell you all herself, but sitting upright put a lot of pressure on her stitches so she couldn't. We are both very excited though!

[Tiramisu]

THANK GOD - Awesome news!

Oh Angie Thank God! That is such great news.

[Tink]

Thank you God!
I've got to say that's the best news I've heard in a LONG time!
Now she can recover and enjoy!

[AngieDoogles]

Yes, it also means that she will most likely not need any more chemo! Her oncologist makes the final decision but the surgeon says he sees no reason to do more. This REALLY made Mom happy. :)

[Janet]

Oh what great news...the tears (happy tears of course) are just falling. Now I know why I couldn't get that song out of my head this morning...

I heard the news at lunch while working today. I starting crying and everyone thought it was something bad. It took me a minute to get anything out. Then, I got out "My mom got here pathology report." I didn't get any further before a couple of people were hugging me and appologizing. LOL two even cried with me when I finally told them it was good news. Thank you to all of you here who have stood by my mom's side through all of this. I think each of you helped her to find the strength to keep fighting when she wasn't sure she could. I love you all.

[Chandra Amaya]

Mom had the drainage tubes taken out today. She says it is much more comfortable and easier to do things without them. Her surgeon says everything looks good. She goes back to her oncologist on the 7th and we will find out how long she will be on radiation. She even got to come out to my brother's birthday party today. It was great to see her smile. :D

[Forgivenmom5]

Just wanted to let everyone know I am doing much better!!!! I can move around better. I am still sore and lack energy but that will take time.
