Hey Everyone,
I am veggin' out right now at the hospital with my bro, sis, dad, Aunt Karrie (who kicks my big ass in backgammon, by the way), and Grampa Urb and we just wanted to send out a little update to all you out in cyberspace who are probably anxiously clicking the "refresh" button on your browsers, waiting for an update on Mom's condition!
We just got some good news from the doctor who performed the masectomy-part of the operation. Hold up, plastic surgeon just walked in with some more news....


Ok, well back to the the first part...
The doctor said that she is about 85% sure that she does NOT have cancer in her lymph glands, which, obviously enough, is awesome news. Although there is still the slim possibility the initial diagnosis is wrong, it would probably only be a maximum of a few cancerous cells remaining, so in all likelihood, the cancer has been removed from the body and is probably sitting in a biohazard bag at the bottom of a trashcan right now! Too graphic? Haha sorry...

The plastic surgeon and first surgeon both said her body responded awesome in surgery and she can expect a relatively swift recovery. Although she still has some tough times ahead, I can definitely speak for her and say that she is incredibly happy to have the cancer out of her system and is ready to get a little R&R for the first time in weeks. I will keep you all updated with any more news and I'm sure she will have something to say when she wakes up.

until then,
Sonny and co.


PS- I just wanted to thank each and every one of you who have logged on to this blog and left a little note, written an e-mail, or picked up the phone. It means so much to me to log on and see all the wonderful things people have to say about MY MOM! More importantly, she has been incredibly positive throughout this process and I know much of the cause lies right here on this page. From listening to that Positive Thoughts CD to simply being able to read over and over how much each one of you cares, you all have made this process THAT MUCH EASIER. As I said to Aunt Karrie one day, "Great people have great friends," and these last few weeks have really conveyed that message to us all.
