Sarah saw her oncologist today for a check-up and to get the pathology report from surgery. They only took 3 lymph nodes from the left side and 11 lymph nodes from the right. Sarah was happy about this news, because she is left-handed and only taking 3 from that side means they were much less intrusive to her left side and the muscles.
The pathology report was good - there were spots of cancer in the nodes and tissue they removed, but the doctor’s feel very positive that they removed all the cancer that was left.
Sarah will be seeing the surgeon tomorrow, hopefully to remove a few drains (she has four total). They make her uncomfortable, so she is anxious to have them removed, although she has been told it will be painful. Please pray for the appointment tomorrow (Tuesday), and for her pain management and continued healing!
