Day 3

Today we met with the Surgeon for the first time. We loved her. Very down to earth and took plenty of time to explain everything to us in such a way that we could understand it.

She went over the results of the CT scans and the bone scan.

At this point we have several options as to the course of therapy. All of which include surgery to remove the infected cells in the Lymph nodes and the breast followed by Chemotherapy. We have not decided the exact course as of yet. Tomorrow Michelle will be going for an MRI and we will get those results on Friday when we meet with the Surgeon again.

We are also seeking a second opinion next week from another surgeon that was recommended to us and this surgeon also recommended. We are so thankful for everyone that has provided us with names of DR's to seek out. So far it appears that everyone is recommending the same people which is comforting to us that we are finding the best care possible.

We want to thank everyone for all the support, playdates, good wishes and phone calls. We will do our very best to keep you up to date and will use this blog to help us do so.

Feel free to forward this blog to those who you feel might want to know.

Thanks again,

Michelle and Howard
