We go away for 5 days, hence this blog is condensed. Take some exercise to overcome the stress, and share our love for each other. Walk hand in hand like a courting couple to "little ice cream shop" where we have one of Jan's favourite ice creams. Longest walk we have taken together in the last 10 years.
Jan was told she would have a "sentinel biopsy" of her lymph glands, which re-assured her as she is aware of risk of spread of cancer to the lymph, wants the check, yet does not want her lymph glands removed unnecessarily. We thank God that the surgeon plans to use this technique as a quick review of the Internet shows it is a fairly new procedure to reduce the risks. Yet to me is is not a biopsy, it is the complete removal of what the doctor said would be 1 to 4 glands, with a constant risk of lymphedema thereafter. I look up some side effects such as at the link below, and go to bed physically shaking.
