Great news from today: the pathology report came back from the surgery (they sent everything to be looked at to make sure they got all the cancer out).  The verdict is they got it all!!!!!  All the margins were clear meaning that the outside cells had no cancer so they took enough extra from around the tumor.  In addition they took a lymph node just to make sure there would be no spread through the lymphatic system and it was clean.  Finally, and the best news for this type of cancer, the tumor itself was over 90% necrotic!  Basically the tumor was a dead lump when they took it out meaning that the chances of it coming back or spreading further is seriously reduced!!!!!  YAY!  God is sooo good and so faithful, I haven’t been able to stop smiling/happy crying all day   We still have three more rounds of chemo just basically as a cautionary measure but then we should be done with this.  Hopefully by Thanksgiving!

I just thought I’d share the joy with everyone!  We’re having a party to celebrate.  It’s September 6 at the Eagles Club in Riverton ;o)  No really, I’m serious, it’s gonna be a party!!!!!   I mean of course it is, I’ll be there ;o)  We’re gonna SELL EHHH BRATEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!  Come on out (Speaking of which, if you can’t make it, or even if you can, and you’d like 50/50 tickets or raffle tickets (we’ve got some great giftcards to give away ) ) let someone know!  Kara has a bunch to sell (her info is karahood@gmail.com) and my daddy has some (kylyjo@royell.org).  Other people do to or we can find a way to get them to you.  Cost for each is $1 per ticket or 6 for $5.  Winners for both announced at 8:00 pm on September 6 and you need not be present to win.  Just make sure on the ticket to put your address so we can mail any prizes you may win
