THE SENTINEL NODES ARE CLEAR, I REPEAT THE NODES ARE CLEAR!!! Hi it's Andrea here and we are sitting in the waiting room as I write! We just got paged to the info desk where they had a message from the OR. They wanted to let us know that the pathology results on Mom's nodes are back and they are clean of cancer cells! This is SO important and our prayers have been answered! THANK YOU GOD!
It's been a busy morning filled with lots of waiting! Mom has been a little tired, but upbeat all day. Before surgery, she had to have a wire placed in her breast to mark the borders of the tumor. Not such a pleasant procedure, but she was a trooper and didn't complain of pain at all. Then they had to insert another needle and inject a blue radioactive dye, which the lymph system absorbs so the sentinel nodes will be highlighted and then the surgeon knows which ones to remove. Again, Mom did great!
Ok so she is still in surgery where they are doing the lumpectomy, but she should be in recovery soon. Keep the prayers coming because they are working well so far! Thanks again to everyone. We will update again later. Love you all!
Andi, Lins, Tay and Dad
