We heard from the surgeon late yesterday afternoon. It was good news and not so good news. The lump that was removed from the breast was completely clear of any cancer cells. This is quite remarkable since the original tumor was larger than half of her breast. Out of the four lymph nodes that were removed, two of them had scattered cancer cells in them. The other two were clear. The surgeon thinks that the treatment course that we are on is appropriate to continue but wants to confer with the Oncologist. We are scheduled for a surgical follow-up on Tuesday but are not scheduled to see the Oncologist until we are back from Tennessee. Currently, Sharon takes the Herceptin IV every three weeks and the Arimidex by mouth daily. We need your prayers to finish this task of ridding her body of all the cancer. We praise God for the tremendous healing that has already gone on. We continue to look for the completion of the healing.
