I have a Pat update!
Pat got a TON of good news today. First of all, her lungs continue to improve and get stronger. She took two laps around the 6th floor today and did great.
Dr. Cox, Pat's surgeon, came to visit this morning and left a very popular man with Pat and Jan. He told them that the pathology report came back negative. That means that he believes there was no cancer left behind that wasn't removed from the surgery. This takes Pat from stage 4 to stage 2 with special circumstances, those circumstances being that it had spread to other areas, but it was localized. He doesn't believe that the cancer entered the lymph nodes. Three cheers for this fabulous news!!!!!
Lastly, but certainly not least, PAT'S LEAVING THE HOSPITAL TODAY!!!! She gets to go home! Her job is now to rest and gain her strength. Pat will be visiting Dr. Cox in 3 weeks, and he will refer her to an Oncologist who may or may not recommend further treatment.
It's a very happy day in the world of Pat right now. I for one am super relieved and feel truly blessed. We love you Pat!
<3, Heather
