Surgery #2

Well, I officially feel like a push-pin doll. :) I had my second surgery today to insert a port in a deep vein on the right side of my chest and to have a centinal lymph node biopsy. The port will be used to inject chemotherapy, antibiotics, and other medicines into later in my treatment. The suspicious-looking lymph node that they found on the 20th was actually a healthy lymph node, so they left it in. I'm happy for that answer to prayer.

I can really feel the prayers of the prayer warriors out there. I never realized how many wonderful friends I have until now. It's your prayers that get me through and allow me to have an attitude of thankfulness right where I'm at. I'm overwhelmed with the love that people have shown me and the servant-hearted attitudes of those closest to me. I really feel like God touched me and that's why the cancer isn't anywhere else in my body. To those of you out there who have said, "I will pray for you"--thank you.

Isaiah 41:10, 13
