Went to Dr. Tittensor's to have two drains removed from my chest and get results about the surgery.
Long story ---Short---
13 lymph nodes removed on the left side... All cancerous
5 centimeter tumor removed on the left side- Cancerous
19 lymph nodes removed on the right side- 18 cancerous
18 centimeter mass removed on the right side- Cancerous
Tissue still has cancerous cells on the lower part of the right side and moving to the center of the chest.
Cancer still in the liver being fed by estrogen from my only ovary.
Pretty depressing! huh....
I know people are on my side --fighting for me!!
Good news-- MOST that cancer is now OUT and OFF my body. We are focusing on the skin by attacking it with radiation. The liver will be taken care of with anti-estregon pills and removal of the ovary. This coming Tuesday- OBGYN appointment .... surgery again.. sooner than later. Thursday- Dr. Tittensor appointment (surgeon). Dr. Clark appointment (radiation Dr.) Dr. Rich (oncologist).
The best news is that Dr. Tittensor let me know that they all meet along with radiolgists, other oncolgists and a strong medical team to discuss my case. It makes me feel wonderful that I have some many people on my side.
I am in good hands and I feel very positive going into this week. I appriecate the continuous prayers and love you all have given me. So thankful for a good medical team, family and friends who are on my side.

I cried lots of tears for you today. I think that's why you are so positive! My heart breaks for your family and I pray for you to have the peace and comfort you need. Miracles happen. RS lesson today had such a great truth about trials. Just think how "educated" you will be at the end of this, when you can throw your fist in the air and cheer "I CONQUERED IT"!
Elder Orson F. Whitney said: “No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. … All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable. … It is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire.”
Love you lots!
IM praying and cheering for you. Hang in there continue to feel your Heavenly Fathers arm around you. Love shauna
