Surgery scheduled

As we had expected, Carolyn's breast cancer surgery has been scheduled for this week, specifically Thursday, June 2.  She has already completed her lab work and will go in Tuesday morning to complete all the paperwork.   Thursday morning she has an appointment in Nuclear Medicine to have dye injected in her lymph nodes to determine the extent of their involvement with the cancer and thus how extensive the surgery will be.  She will also get the final word as to when the actual surgery will take place.  She is expecting to have a bilateral mastectomy.  The surgeon expects no complications and also expects that Carolyn will be able to go home on Friday following an over night stay to make sure that the healing process has begun normally.

We appreciate your expressions of love and concern as well as the many prayers that have been offered in Carolyn's behalf. We'll keep  you posted here on her progress.
