It's been awhile since I've updated the blog and I know so many of you are wondering about Wendy's progress. I have a few minutes to finally sit down and let everyone know what is happening.
On January 4th Wendy had her last chemo treatment. That week her and I went to NY Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital to meet with a surgeon and plastic surgeon. Bill's back was out so he wasn't able to go. She really felt comfortable with those docs and is heading down there tomorrow with Bill to schedule her surgery. She also had an MRI on Monday and please keep results from that in prayer....she is really nervous.
The surgery should be coming up very soon.....within a couple of weeks. She will need to go back to NY once a week for about four weeks to see the plastic surgeon. After that she will start six weeks of radiation five days a week. So she is still about three months away from being done with this....at least until the Fall when she will need surgery for reconstruction.
I must say that Wendy is really doing rather well. She does get afraid sometimes and worries but who wouldn't. Overall though, she faces this with increased faith and trust.
Until the surgery and radiation the meals have stopped. I would imagine she will need some help through that and anyone that is interested let me know and I can direct you to the website.
Also, if anyone has any ideas about a fundraiser, let me know. The trips to the city and the daily co-pays for radiation really add up. I'm honestly running out of steam and dealing with trials of my own right now. But nothing that can compare to my friend.
Thanks to everyone that has been so supportive. I will update you all when we know something new.
