During lunch today I stopped by to see Kathy at her kemo. She looked great and was eating ice cream while they gave her the most protective and snarling of the kemo drugs.
or maybe (Kemo fact: The cold ice cream slows blood flow to her mouth and lets less of the drug into her mouth tissues.)
I also got an update on all the appointments of the past week. The port is in, although it required a second surgery to be repositioned. It was causing an irregular heartbeat (yikes!). But overshadowing the annoyance of two surgeries to put in the catheter, the scan results show that the cancer is confined to one breast and a lymph node on that same side. Yay!!!!!!! That really is good news! They may find it in more than one lymph node once they do the surgery, but the fact that it wasn't seen outside of the one breast area is HUGE! Another really good piece of news is that the tumor has already begun to shrink. The doctor said it is about 20% smaller! "Die, you @#$%&*, die!!!" Great job Kathy! You really know how to Kick It!
