Today I had a surprise visitor, my friend and my wonderful boss, Anita! She has been SO supportive as this has not been a year of great health for me, and it meant so much that she would stop by as she is still grieving the passing of her dad recently. Hey all you prayer warriors, please say a prayer for this incredible lady and her family for comfort and for peace during this difficult time.
Today was also a big day, as I had to say goodbye to a very close friend (a little too close I might add), MY LAST DRAIN! We all gathered at the door and screamed at the nurse one last time. Thanks so much Stac for all of your creative distractions! The nurse officially released me as a postsurgical patient. Now that's a step in the right direction.
My results have come in from surgery and my genetic testing as well. Tomorrow when I meet with my oncologist, he will help us to make sense of it all.
I read somewhere today, "An individual doesn't get cancer, a family does." Even if you've never said a prayer before, would you say one for my family? I'm convinced that most of the time this journey is tougher on them than it is on me.

This is exactly what makes you such an unbelievable, awesome, inspiring person Lisa, even in YOUR time of hardship and struggle you are thinking of others. Just proves even more how giving and unselfish you are. That is why you have so many wonderful friends in your life, because YOU are wonderful;) And you are so blessed to have such a caring, supportive, loving and giving family.
ADIOS DRAIN!!!! Woooo Hooo! Congrats!
Did you get the results of the testing or do you get them when you go to the oncologist? Make sure to keep us informed;)
Love you!
Aaaaggghhhh! LOL! Goodbye drain! Wow... can you beiieve it was the last one? Poor Cindy... I bet she is going to miss such greetings! Even Jamie joined in on the screaming... amazing!
You are such a sweetheart for worrying about eveyone else... it's so like you! When you first came out of surgery you wanted to know how all the nurses were doing when they asked you if you were o.k.! <3<3<3
By the way, yes, you are right... we as a family have cancer, and we as a family will fight it! I wish that somehow I could endure the pain of it all for you. Sis, I hope you know, that in a time when my faith in God was not what it should be (I had pulled away somewhat), you and this experience has renewed my relationship with Him! Thank you for that! See... you're always taking care of others! :-)
And Sis... I love you MORE than there are stars in the sky!
