We've neglected to share it with everyone but today is a pretty big day. Today we go to the oncologist for Jenna's final pathology. We already know part of what we'll find out and we already know what Dr. Cross' opinion is on the matter. However, Cross is our surgeon and these guys get the final say on some stuff. If they disagree...we'll have to see. It's hard to get second opinions sometimes because you feel like you're shopping for the answer you want to hear but if they disagree we'll probably seek a 2nd opinion to see our best course of treatment.
The big deal here is if Jenna's cancer was hormone related. This will determine what medication she will have to take from here out. We also get the final say on chemotherapy. We're pretty sure they will say no chemo since the pathology we do have shows no need but until the oncologist says so, it's not in stone. The main thing that could go wrong today is we may be told we can't have anymore children. We know there are other options out there to add another member to the family, but it will be hard if Jenna has to go through menopause and told she can't carry another child. Just send out a few more prayers and we'll be fine.
Jenna also goes to Atwood this afternoon. Hopefully she'll be cleared to do more stuff...like pick up Noah or drive a car. We'll see how she's healing. It's amazing that we are already 3 weeks after surgery. She's doing really well. The mold levels are up outside so we all have sniffles and Noah didn't cooperate with his bed last night so we are all exhausted, but her spirits are still high. Thanks for all the cards, flowers, and calls that continue to come in. As she gets further from the surgery and she's still not 'right' they seem to mean more and more to her.
I'll post tonight what the oncologist told us and hopefully it will be good news.
