We're home...

Change of plans...

Mastectomy has been indefinitely postponed and we are actually home.  There was a surgical procedure to install a port for chemotherapy, but that was only about 30 minutes long and we were headed home in less than 2 hours.

To catch everyone up.....

Jenn had felt some soreness in her armpit this weekend and they decided to do a biopsy of a lymph node this morning when we arrived for our scheduled surgery.  The biopsy came back positive for cancer and confirms that it has moved to at least one of her lymph nodes.  All involved felt like the best decision would be to postpone surgery and get started with Chemo (Surgery would prevent chemo from starting for another 6 weeks).  We will have some "chemo counseling" tomorrow, an EKG tomorrow and some body scans (possibly tomorrow).  Once all of that is done, we will start chemo late this week or Monday.

So...what does all of this mean?  I don't know.  No one does until we get more information....

Here is what I do know....

1. Jenn feels great...as crazy as it might sound, she is healthier than she has ever been and ready for treatment

2. Nothing has changed....I am still married to an ass-kicker that isn't discouraged and is ready for whatever is next.  Ready to "Win the Day".

3. I am starving and there is nothing to eat here but bone broth, kale, and coconut oil.

4. Jenn's only request on her way to surgery was that the staff kept her gown on so she wasn't like some lady she saw in the hall way with one of her boobies breezing in the wind

5. I got yelled at for bringing a bottle water into the pre-op room before jenn went to surgery because she was really thirsty and hungry. Thank god I kept the M&M's in my pocket.

6. No one has been here all day and the sink is still full of dishes.

7. The Anesthesiologist asked if she drank and Jenn blurted "I drink lots of wine"

8. See #5, I am getting yelled at again for eating junk.  (I hope she doesn't see the ice cream I bought on the way home)

9. Well, well, well....we are sitting here trying to come up with #9 and she just confessed to me that the anesthesiologist was hot and she was scared that she was going to tell him when she was coming out of the fog.  I thought he was dorky...Im not hating though.

10. I believe in a lot of things.  I believe in God and his blessings.  I believe that good things happen to good people.  I believe in modern medicine.  But more than anything I believe in Jennifer.  I wish you all could see how brave, determined, and courageous she is.  She is where I get my confidence that we will Win the Day.
