After the surgery, the oncologist surgeon, Dr. Davis came out and spoke with Chrissy and Norm.She said, "Everything has gone well. We did check the lymph nodes and we found nothing on the right side. On the left side, where the aggressive cancer was, we did find cancer in the sentinel node, so I removed the sentinel node and several others around it."
Where does this leave us? On Wednesday, May 7th I have an appointment with the best of the best in oncology - Dr. Karen Gelmon at the BC Cancer Agency. She will advise me of the treatment to follow. I am anticipating chemo, radiation, or both. I'll wait and see.
In the meantime, Norm arrived here from Toronto last night. Yippee! Mom and dad just dropped by to say good -bye; they are heading home today. Norm has laced them down with some great reading material for Jordyn and Ethan.
I am feeling much better today. Here is my morning breakfast of goodies. Yummy.
I'll get there yet!

Hey Candance!
So nice to hear from you. I just talked with dad and I was sad to hear more of your news. Damned those Norman genes. :)
Please let me know your dates here in Vancouver. I'd love to shuffle up and see you all.
