I spoke to Beth last Thursday afternoon and she sounds wonderful. She was looking forward to her appointment the next day (despite it being Friday the 13th) with her plastic surgeon, hoping she could get rid of some of the drains... Well she did-yeah!!! And her plastic surgeon is so pleased and said she's doing much better than expected.. so half the drains are out and the plan is to remove the remaining drains this Wednesday. That in itself will be liberating not having to carry them around!!!
She's doing fine - going up and downstairs and has even gone out shopping with a friend. She is still sleeping on the couch because she needs to stay on her back but she is feeling better each day. She's off all her pain medications - just taking her antibiotics and ibuprofen now and then.
This Friday, Feb 20th, Beth will be meeting with her other surgeon and they will then be scheduling an appointment to meet with her oncologist to begin discussing the next phase.. But so far so good and it's encouraging that everything seems to be going better than we'd hoped...
Beth can't thank each and everyone of you enough for all your prayers and good wishes, she feels they have made all the difference. We've assured her that every one's support is going to continue until she has completed this journey and WON!!!!
