Hello friends

Thanks Susan for setting this blog up for me. Thanks for every ones prayers and concerns for me. I am VERY appreciative of you all. I had my 3rd surgery Monday. They put in my chemo port and took out some more nodes. I think they were called subclavical nodes. I am quite sore but well drugged. Went to the Oncologist yesterday (Caldera) and got the results from my oncotype tests they did a couple of weeks ago. It turns out the cancer is called a triple negative breast cancer. This means it is not from estrogen, progesterone or HER2. It is an aggressive cancer so they will be treating it aggressively. Wednesday Nov 18Th is my first chemo treatment and I will be having one every 3 weeks for a total of 8 treatments.
I am very open to people knowing what is going on but to repeat the same thing time and time again is exhausting and it is hard to keep a positive focus when I am explaining the whole negative stuff over and over. So hopefully this blog will keep everyone up to the minute and we can all just focus on me getting well and living a positive life.
Thank you to all who have been keeping Tom and myself in prayer. God is great and we will all get through this and the glory will be His.

    To My Former Babysitter,

    Susan had a wonderful idea. As you said, you don't like repeating the story over and over, and this keeps all of us who hesitate to call informed, and allows you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. I truly believe attitude has lots to do with recovery and I know you are brave and very positive. Love you.

    What a great way to get info out to everyone, without stressing you out. You keeping strong and stress free is one of the
    positive things that you can have control over in your life. Just know that you are cared for and loved by friends and family alike. Take care of yourself and Tom -be strong for each other and know that our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

    Pat and Tom Stevens
