She's Still Positive!

Over the weekend, mom and dad had a safe trip back to Mayo Clinic.  After meeting with her surgeon (Dr. Sterioff) this morning, mom  called and reported that she really likes him.  I can tell that she feels very comfortable in his experienced care.  I’m thankful for this blessing as she continues to sound really positive, confident and determined to fight.  Dr. Sterioff feels that the cancer was caught early and is not very invasive……..yeah!  His report contained positive news and some not-so-positive news.  However, the bottom line is that he will not know for certain until he completes the surgery and gets all of the test results back.  Therefore, I will update you with the facts at that time since most is speculation at this point.  She is going into the hospital this afternoon for some tests, but will be released to spend the night with dad at the hotel.  She will be admitted again tomorrow morning.  She is scheduled to meet with an oncologist at 12:45 on Friday, November 6th and possibly be released at that time to heal.  I will fly to Rochester early in the morning.  Her double mastectomy will most likely be around noon.  Please continue to pray for our entire family and we all adjust!

  2. Lynda,
    Visiting your house is like visiting the "Mother Teresa" of your corner of the world.

    And you make the greatest sweet pickles in the known world.
