Bret talked to the doctor and we got great news. They confirmed that the lymph nodes were clear and that the area that was removed had a cancer free perimeter which meant that they did remove the entire area that contained cancer. We will meet with the surgeon on Monday afternoon and talk about treatment options.
This is the best news that we could have received. I believe that God has heard all of our prayers and I thank each and every one of you for praying with us all week. You have given Bret and I the strength to get up each day and move forward. The waiting was horrible but I have never felt so much love and support as I did this week. We are so blessed to have each and every one of you in our lives!
I am feeling really good today....very little pain and getting more energy back all the time. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest and I can finally breathe again. This whole experience has been the wake up call that we all hear about but we hope we never receive.....life is a precious gift that should never be taken for granted, be thankful for every day and be thankful for your friends and family.......Lots of Love to ALL OF YOU!!!!! Jan and Bret
