Dr. Christman did an excellent job. She was able to remove the tumor with clear margins. I only have internal stitches that will dissolve over time. She did have to cut a bit of my pec muscle out which caused me to have some pretty gnarly bruising.
While in recovery, I tend to take a selfie (which I don't remember taking). I feel like I looked like a baked potato.
The pathology came back that the tumor was the same kind and type I've been dealing with.
It was in the lymphatic system. Dr. Skinner said that it means more of these tumors could pop up. We will continue to monitor with PET scans and any physical symptoms.
I had chemo last week that went well. I'm still more fatigued right now, just takes my body awhile to fully recover.
At my eye doctor appointment yesterday, it showed that my cornea is inflamed which is causing my vision to worsen. I have to use steroid eye drops for about a week around chemo but now will have to stay on them daily to bring down the inflammation. I'll see my eye doc the week after my next chemo to make sure the inflammation has resolved.
We continue to live our lives and enjoy the good moments we have.
Wilson's baseball team won their division and he was chosen for All-stars (Wil is coaching both).
Parker turned 6 years old on the 7th. We had to postpone her pool party because we were having such cold weather. Parker finished her Quickball season with several games that got rained out. Again, having her daddy as one of the coaches. She has been doing Junior swim team this summer.
Prayer requests:
1. Praise for a successful surgery. Pray for continued healing, especially for the pec muscle.
2. Pray for protection from any tumors growing from the lymphatic system.
3. Praise chemo is still working on the "dangerous" tumors in my abdomen.
4. Pray for my corneas to return to normal and my vision to improve.
