Finally an Update!
Sorry for the delay in the reporting everyone! I had some access trouble.
I hope everyone is ready for some great news...
Last Tuesday was Stephanie's 3rd chemo treatment. That means she is halfway through! During the normal process of going in for treatment, we meet with the doctor. The doc asked about stuff like changes in symptoms and other junk then feels the lump as an informal tracking method to see if the tumor is responding to the chemo. (Remember, they will do another MRI when chemo is finished to really tell the degree of success on the chemo.)
Anyway, the 1st piece of great news is that when the doctor went to feel the lump, she could not find it. Before, it was very noticeable! Now, NOTHING! Praise God!!!
2nd piece of great news, the BRAC test came back negative! As a reminder, this was the test to determine whether or not Steph was at risk genetically for cancer coming back. This could not have been better news. This means she will not need a mastectomy or a histerectomy!
We could not have had better answers to prayer!! Thank you all!!!
NEXT STEP: 3 more chemo treatments
PRAYER REQUEST: Please be in prayer for Steph to keep up her strength. She has really been doing well but we do expect that it will continue to take her a little bit longer to recover each time.
