The best news yet? Just say NO!

To cancer.

Another scary moment and thank God the result is what we hoped and prayed for!

About a week of so ago, Patti had found two odd, but pronounced small bumps above the area where she had the mastectomy. 

Today, Patti met with one of her cancer doctors (Dr. Bove). After a review of the area of concern, the doctor ordered a mammogram and ultrasound.  Luck of the draw, a cancellation had just occurred at the clinic/hospital, which gave Patti the opportunity to get both of these tests done immediately!

The results:

• The mammogram revealed no change from the previous check (almost a year ago!).
• The ultrasound was able to detect the two odd bumps she detected and the doctors say they do not appear to look like cancer (YEA!). They actually look like they may are fluid filled. The margins are very defined and the spots are black (as seen in the ultrasound photos - sorry, we could not take them with us)

Next steps:
Needle biopsy on Monday 7/7/14 to take a sample and determine what these little guys are. We are confident that it is not cancer....but the doctor wants to be 100% with Patti....we sure appreciate it!

More to follow after the biopsy and results (should know by the end of next week).

I took this picture of Patti and I right after this event, as I think it's important to capture her face and feelings when prayers are answered. As they say, a picture is worth a 1,000 words! Need I say more?

This is what "NO Cancer" looks like  - YEAAAAAA!

 

Have a safe and Happy 4th of July!
