Needless to say we’ve received the best news of all at Kathy’s last appointment….cancer-free! WOOHOO indeed! Kathy and I both broke into tears when he told us, but it was of joy, that’s for sure.
Now, as for my delinquency in posting, I’m really sorry. I got ill with some type of lung and sinus attacks and finally called to the doc and am doing better now….just had a few days down and didn’t really have the energy to get online.
Here’s the latest and I’ll just bundle it into one post. At her one week appointment she had two of the three drains taken out and is progressing fine. She’ll be going back on Tuesday to get the final drain and her sutures removed. Although she’s cancer-free she will still be doing radiation, although fewer number of them. That will start a few weeks after she’s strong enough.
Now, I must say Kathy is feeling better every day. In fact today she’s not had to use any pain medication. The worst part now is that I’m having a hard time getting her not to try too much…but that’s a refreshing problem. However, I have informed her that if she doesn’t behave I will tell Doc and Mom….that’ll get her not to be wayward! Her left arm is almost to about 3/4 strength and movement, with her right being the one she needs to be careful about. There were 16 lymph nodes removed from her right so naturally her arm is more limited and she’ll be doing physical therapy on that at some point.
The best part for Kathy is the great friends coming over to visit and providing her with meals….yummy stuff, and I’m enjoying not having to cook…LOL! Now that I’m better, I promise to update better, thanks for bearing with me.

Praise the Lord!! You are doing a great job taking care of little sis, Suzie. Thanks for the update, and thanks to Jesus, you’re better. We can only do what He enables us to do and that is all He expects.
What are you going to title “the book” Kathy. Jk, but I’m sure this writer has plenty of material now. How about “Victory in Jesus” or is that the name of a song?;D
