Yesterday, Beth saw her plastic surgeon and had an outpatient surgical procedure done at Faulkner to remove the dead skin/scab from her reconstruction and everything went well; shortly after the procedure Beth was sitting up, eating and drinking and able to go home-per usual anxious to be home with the boys.. Her immediate challenge continues to be the stretching of those muscles each day to get her arms over her head and although it's more difficult than she expected and despite the pain, she works at it constantly hoping to avoid going to physical therapy...
Next week Beth has 3 tests scheduled; a cat scan and a bone scan, both of which will be done at Dana Farber and then the following day she will go back in to have a MUGA test (heart); all in preparation to begin chemotherapy in 2 weeks on Monday March 23rd. No one looks forward to chemotherapy but Beth continues to have a wonderful attitude and we have total confidence she'll continue to do whatever it takes to beat this!!
As always, thanks again for your good wishes, prayers and encouragement.
