20, 2005: Medical Update on Muriel Good News! We continue to receive good news.
First we learned that the four sentinel nodes were clear
of any
cancer. Now the pathology report states
that the largest tumor was 1.6 centimeter in size and what we had hoped
for was
to be less than two centimeters. Both
these factors are significant and point to Muriel being cancer free. We
believe
we have experienced a miracle. This week
the four drains were removed making
recovery more comfortable. Although
Muriel is experiencing pain we know that will decrease with time as her
healing
becomes more complete. Next week we
have an appointment with Dr. Bi, Muriel’s oncologist, to go over the
pathology
report in detail and discuss future treatment plans. Muriel has a
wonderful
surgeon in the person of Dr. Richard Perry. And we’ve been blessed by
the
skilled and loving care of many medical professionals at Banner Good
Samaritan
Hospital and the other facilities that have provided for Muriel’s
pre-surgery tests
and post-surgery care. We feel so
loved by so many, even by those whom we have
never met. Thank you for your thoughts, actions, cards, calls,
messages,
flowers and chocolates. But most of
all, thank you for your prayers. Your care has been overwhelming. We
have felt
God’s closeness and love through you. Muriel and Terry Henderson. |
