Long Road to Ruin

Hello All,
I hope this blog finds you all well. I have had a very busy week meeting with Dr's and dealing with my Father's surgery. It's Friday today and I have received alot of news and phone calls. First off, my father must go in for more urgent surgery for an obstruction. So needless to say, I will be driving to Youngstown to stay with my mother till Dec. 25th. Dan and Mallori will come up to Y-town on 12/24, since they have to work.

I received a phone call today from my 2nd opinion breast surgeon. I had an MRI done yesterday and she was calling me up regarding the results of this. The MRI shows that my left side is good. However, the right side is not so good. The right side shows a residual tumor and said it was marked more than usual. The MRI also picked up 2 abnormal lymph nodes (in the axillary nodes) that will need to be removed and biopsied. All in all, I need to have a mastectomy.

It's not something I really wanted to have done, however, like many things in life, you think you have it bad till you look around and see someone else in a much worse case than you.

I really have to count my blessings that this cancer is where it's at, how it's at (stage and type) and that it is a slow moving invasive cancer. I have a lot of 'goods' with this cancer. Its just that in order to basically be cancer free and hopefully for life, I must have a mastectomy.

On a lighter note, I am wishing all of you who I know and those of you whom I don't a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May you all live with peace, harmony, love and health for the new year! And don't forget about our Troops, you may not agree with the USA being over 'there', but at least support our Troops in defending us! God Bless them all!
