Please forgive me for not updating recently.
Jamie is doing well. She had surgery two weeks ago, and it looked good. Dr. Skinner, Jamie's surgeon, was pleased that the original tumor had shrunk significantly due to the chemo.
Dr. Skinner also removed a section of tissue containing lymph nodes from under Jamie's left arm. Tests showed that cancer cells were in only 2 of the 9 lymph nodes; which is a good sign.
Jamie has been recovering well. But the tests after the surgery showed that there were some cancer cells at the edge of some of the tissue they removed from her breast. So we are going in for a second surgery today to remove some more tissue, and hopefully removing any remaining cancer cells.
Jamie has a great attitude. She bounced back quickly after the surgery and is ready to get this one done. And her hair is growing back--really fast!
My mother is in town helping us out, and has been great.
Kids are ready to start school tomorrow.
Thank you for your prayers and encouragement!
