Let's lead with the good news. Cathy's CT and bone scans came back clear! That's beyond good news. That doesn't mean that it isn't in the lymph system, but they said that the lymph nodes looked good. It does mean that it isn't in her bones or other organs, as I understand it. Also, as I understand it, we won't know about lymph until they do surgery. I believe when they do surgery they will send a dye up her breast and find the sentinel node. When they find the sentinel node they will remove it and test it. I believe that if the sentinel is ok that means that the rest are ok also. Needless to say, we were pretty relieved to get that news today.
Cathy found a wig today. I've seen a picture, but I haven't seen it on her. She also found a few hat type things to wear. I'm going to have to find out what to call them. I also may have to cut this post short - Clara is getting another tooth and needs some attention.
Cathy is the best. This is going to be so hard for her and she knows that. She's such a good person that she is also really concerned about how hard it will be for the boys and me, too. We already found out how hard it has been for Clara. With lots of prayers Clara has made some big adjustments. Also, with lots of prayers, Cathy got the clear on her scans. Praise be to God on those two huge things!
Jayne sent us this from her doctor's office. Tru dat, homies!
