I wanted to give you a quick update as so many have asked how I am doing…

I had the best surgery team taking care of me.  They did everything they could to try and calm my fears.  I even had someone rubbing my feet while I was in the OR and reassuring me they would take good care of me!!  I had so many emotions that morning, but I constantly kept laying my fears and anxiety at the feet of Jesus.  His peace covered my heart and I never doubted His presence as I went through the day.

My surgery went well, and I was able to go home Wednesday evening after surgery.  The surgeon took out 5 of my lymph nodes and had them tested during surgery.  All 5 of them came back negative, so she didn’t have to take out anymore!!!!  All praise be to God for a clear report!  They have sent my breast tissue and skin off to pathology.  I will get the results of that report next Friday at my doctor’s appointment.  So, please pray along with me that I will get a clean report.  I’m praying the chemo did exactly what it was supposed to do.

I am at home now for the next 4-6 weeks so that I can heal.  The next step will be radiation.  I appreciate your prayers, texts, phone calls, cards, etc over the past few days.  I have an AMAZING support system and I appreciate each of you!!!
