Gamma knife surgery went well on Thursday. The doctor found 15 spots that they hit in my head and zapped each one. The MRI at the UW is stronger, so they could see more spots and many of the spots were the size of a pencil point. The big one was the size of a pencil eraser. We blasted them all though.
When the doctor screwed the frame on my head the nurse told me I would be princess for a day. Honestly I like the beautiful crown I see the girls wear at Apple Blossom best. They are so much prettier! Yep, screwing the helmet on hurt, so I did what any normal girl would do, I cried for a couple of minutes. Then the numbing medicine took over and I felt fine. The rest of the time was actually relaxing. I went in and out of the machine for about 6 hours listening to quiet music. I could pray, relax and sleep. I actually left more rested than when we arrived. We were at Harbor View from about 6:30am to 7:30pm.
Next week we go to Wenatchee for an appointment with my oncologist and surgeon. We will beginning another round of chemo and talk about a single mastectomy. The adventure goes on.
We are continuing to look up and are thankful for all of the medical advances that have been made. We are also thankful that God is keeping us in His hands.
Thank you for continuing to pray.
