Lymph nodes are NEGATIVE!!!!!

This morning we got the best news of the last 2 weeks - the inflammed lymph nodes that were removed during surgery are negative for cancer! That means that Cindy's cancer is only stage II. The Gyn-Oncologist was very happy and said that it will be easier to treat. Since all of this started when Cindy tripped over Abby's baby gate, she's the hero in all of this that let us catch it early. Cindy's mom is going to give her a big hug when she arrives tomorrow!

Other signs are looking good, too: her creatinine is down some, meaning her renal function is improving and her white count is back to normal. We're crossing our fingers that we'll get to move out of the ICU room today.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. Other than having the surgeon say "Oops, we were wrong and there wasn't any cancer in your ovary", this is about the best possible news we could have gotten.

  1. YAYYY!! Good doggy!

    Great, great, great news. Pretty soon she can get away from the hospital food too ;)

    And, normally hearing a doctor say "oops" is not a good thing, but in this case, the good news takes care of that.
