Hi Mary: I wanted to let you know that Dianne's surgery went well yesterday to put in the chemo port and widen the margin around the tumor area. Unfortunately for her, it involved surgery to both sides of her chest so today she was feeling very sore. I talked to her earlier in the day, the pain meds were doing their job and she was very optimistic and said "the worst part is over". She will see her surgeon and oncologist on Tuesday, 13th and will find out when she will be start her chemo. The oncologist told her that she will definitely lose her hair with the type of chemo she'll receive, so she's already ordered her wig in preparation. Please ask our family and friends to keep her in their prayers. Thank you for all that you continue to do to keep our family in touch and informed.I've been wondering why more of our family isn't sharing news on the blog, it would be nice to hear from more of the family and maybe some "good news" too. My good news is that I'm coming back to MN for the Cousins Xmas party. I'm really looking forward to it, although I could do without the cold weather, see what you can do about that! See you soon. Love, Denise
Denise...I agree...I wish more people would put in info for the blog and newsletter or just write comments. I know many of us check it daily...but not sure the rest of the cousins have seen the blog. I am sending out a CC to those without internet access tomorrow, just had it printed. So if you are reading the BLOG and get one in the mail....please let me know.
I will be having my surgery on Dec. 12, 8:30 a.m. at North Memorial. My sister Kathleen, is coming to be with me....so I talked her into joining us for the Cousins Christmas. Hurrah! We may also be joined by the Country Cousins for the first time. It sounds like it will be a great party.
