Great news and port-a-cath installed!
UPDATE: Tuesday evening, we received a message from the doctor that the PET scan results we had been waiting for were in and the news is great, THANK GOD!!! The cancer is primarily located in the left breast with very little in the lymph nodes under her arm. So little in fact that he is not worried about it at all. This is truly an answer to many prayers. Although we are walking into the valley, God's light is still shining upon us. We are so grateful to everyone that has been praying for us!
This morning we went to the hospital to have a port-a-cath installed to ease the administration of the chemotherapy drugs. It is commonly referred to as a "port". It was inserted just below her right collar bone. The procedure took about 3 hours from arrival to departure.
NEXT STEP: Cycle 1 of 6 for chemo begins on Tuesday, April 17th. The plan is to also draw blood for the BRCA test. This will help us determine the right approach for making sure the cancer has as little a chance of coming back as possible.
PRAYER REQUEST: Please be in prayer for Stephanie to have mild side effects to the drugs and for good news on the BRCA test. If you don't believe in prayer, please just share this information with all the God-fearing folks you know. They can handle the rest...
