Second Surgery

10.24.22

There isn’t a lot to update on right now, but tomorrow is my second surgery. If I understood right the clear margins they didn’t get were just around the tumor area. I don’t think they are taking any more lymph nodes or anything like that. As far as particular prayer requests go: 1) Pray we can get clear margins. 2) For wisdom and guidance for the doctors as they are working on me. 3) That I handle surgery well. It takes me a little while to come out of anesthesia. (Not uncommon.) But they are planning on me going home the same day- unless it takes me too long to wake up. 4) For healing. (So far my incisions have been healing nicely! We get to start that process all over again. 🤪)

It was a bummer to find out that we didn’t get clear margins the first time. We knew this could happen, it didn’t show up on the MRI, but my oncologist said from the beginning that we wouldn’t know for sure until surgery and they go through everything. I don’t think this second surgery changes anything with my future treatment plan. Which means I will still need to do chemo and radiation based on what we found during the first surgery. We’ll find out more next week at my follow ups.

Some fun pics from the week.
