Post op consultation with surgeon

90% good news, we await follow on radiotherapy. However key results were NOT present at that morning's multidisciplinary discussion of Janet's case. The possible need for chemotherapy was mentioned dependent upon the awaited test results. The ER, PR, and HER2 results were NOT available though these are vital for planning suitable follow on treatment. Without those test results surely Jan's case might as well have been discussed by my plumber and car mechanic?

Neither the consultant nor registrar who operated on Janet were available to us, though the consultant had set the time for the meeting.

I feel I may need to post less frequently to this blog for the time being, and will restart once test results are known by us.

I had earlier said we need to rely on God's provision, rather than medics. This waiting throws us back onto God. Do not worry about us, 90% of news was good. We plan assuming the most likely outcome of the tests.

Our plan is to return to the East coast and celebrate Easter as normal.
