Update on the pesky other nodes

Jim calls my cancer a very formidable enemy who needs to be taken seriously, confronted and given a death blow.
An update on my ultrasound appt this am.  After doing the ultrasound trying to locate the abnormal lymph node cells, they couldn't do a fine needle aspiration (FNA) as there appeared to be no abnormal or pathological nodes to do a FNA, but since the small cluster of (not totally normal) nodes are buried so deep that the fine needle couldn't get to them, they will go ahead and do a sentinel node dissection on both breasts during surgery.  Good news, bad news.  If they could have done a FNA today and found my nodes were negative, they would know that no more nodes were involved.  Pray for cancer-free nodes on both sides.  I will have to wait for results.  If both sides show negative nodes, which is more than likely on the right side, they will not have to go in and do another surgery to remove all of the auxiliary nodes (I think this is correct)..Kat is concerned about lymphadema even with just 2-3 nodes removed. Dr. Weiss, my medical onocologist at Walter Reed, would be shocked if any positive nodes were found on my right side.  Georgetown concurred that is how they would proceed also, since some raised nodes appeared in the MRI findings.  I am so tired as we left at 7am for a 9:30 appt. at Walter R.and made it just in time due to morning traffic.  The breast center team is top notch, but the drive is a challenge.  Praise God I have access to such a fine facility and team...I could live out in the rural area where options are more limited.  Thank you, one and all, for your prayers and loving words of support.   This is a little c in my life.  Jesus Christ is the big C and is carrying my burdens on His shoulders.
