Just a quick update on how things are going. Yesterday, I was able to schedule my consultation with Dr. Jones, the plastic surgeon, on July 20th and I have a surgery date set for July 25th. Today I was able to get to Peoria for some blood work, a chest x-ray, and a lymph node ultrasound. On the ultrasound, there was one lymph node that looked a little thick, so they decided to do a fine needle aspiration biopsy. The procedure itself wasn't bad at all, except for my fear of needles :) We should get the results at the end of this week or on Monday, just working on a lot of positive thoughts and prayers that it comes back negative. I also have an appointment this afternoon with Dr. Thomas, an oncologist. He is the doctor who treated my dad and was kind enough to get me in at the last minute today, I am so grateful. He will be able to give us more information on treatment options.
Thanks again for all of the thoughts, prayers, and comments. It is amazing to know that there are so many people supporting me and it really helps us in remaining positve and keeps us smiling. Thank you!
