Janiece went in for her surgery today at 12:30and was done around 2:30. She should be released to go home this evening, however the last update I received was that she was still at the hospital.
A 2 inch by 6 inch area was removed around where the mole was. Hopefully this removed all cancer cells from that terrible little mole! The original mole was about the size of the tip of your pinky finger.
When the surgeon first saw Janiece's adjacent lymph nodes he had a little concern because they were bigger than usual. However, after a closer look he reported that he is positively optimistic and "feels good" about the lymph nodes and that there is likely no cancer spread there. The results of the biopsy should be back next Wednesday and of couse we have to wait for that to be 100% sure.
Relatively speaking, this is the best possible news we could have received today. My sweet nieces and nephew need their mother. We are thanking God and so grateful.
Thank you for lifting up Janiece with your prayers, acts of kindness, and genuine concern for her and our family. It's hard to be on the receiving end, please know it is appreciated.
I'll keep updating on the blog when news is available. I'm very happy to report some good news on this blog. It doesn't happen enough! :)
