Surgery went well!

Alyson had surgery Monday to test her Lymph Nodes and to remove additional tissue. She also had a chemo-port put in her right arm. The port is so that she does not have to get stuck with a needle everytime she goes in for chemo. We are waiting to hear about the Lymph Nodes outcome. The doctor said that the nodes looked grossly clear to her, which is a good thing. We will probably start chemo sometime next week or we may be able to wait until after delivery of our son. We just need the results of another test to determine how quickly we will start chemo. Alyson is doing well after surgery, with just a little soreness. Aly has decided to do both a nutrition and chemo-therapy approach to getting her cure. The nutritional aspect will help her combat the side effects of the chemo by rebuilding her immune system. I will let you all know how the Lymph Nodes come out as soon as we find out.

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

I would also like to announce the engagement of my younger sister Nicole. She is currently finishing up her degree at Central Michigan. Congrats Nicole. Aly and I love you and can't wait to see your ring.
