When the going gets tough, the tough get going

Or something like that. This afternoon I’ve finally been able to communicate with Sara directly, and she asked me to further update the blog. The liver biopsy results came back, and the cancer has metastasized there. Cancer cells were also found in her blood. Later this afternoon, Sara had a CT scan done of her lungs. The chemo port insertion surgery will take place tomorrow, though Sara doesn’t know exactly what time yet. This will allow her to start chemotherapy treatment as soon as possible. Despite the difficult news, Sara definitely sounds stronger and very determined. She is able to walk now, albeit slowly, which is a very big step (and a requirement to be discharged from the hospital).

  4. You are strong! I’d bet on you no matter who the opponent or what the odds…and you’re a natural teacher. You will have so much to share with us all when you’re back in the classroom. We’re cheering for you, praying for you, and ready to learn when you’re back at it.
