Clean Margins !

Hello Friends! 

Some of you have asked about bringing a meal. Anyone who would like to bring Jane a “Monday Meal” (i.e., something for dinner) is invited to do so by signing up via the Lotsa Helping Hands calendar.

Because Jane’s diet will be changing over the coming weeks — moving from the current “low-residue” options to her normal “bunny” diet (aka, lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and no white sugar) — she asks that if you sign up to do a Monday Meal, you please give her or Steve a quick call to see what works for her in that given week.

Thank you so much. Below is a good news note from Jane -

HORRAY!

I received excellent biopsy results today - all tissue excised during the APR surgery had clean margins all around!

This probably won't change the course of treatment from here, because cancer is a microscopic disease, the oncologists say that a few months of infusion chemo would be a good measure of prevention. But the clean margins certainly give us more confidence that the preceding radiation, the APR surgery, and following infusion treatments will be all worth it!

We saw the plastic surgeon today and he removed two drains, so I am less encumbered and feeling freer to move around, albeit slowly. My day is brightened with hope, my home brightened by your lovely cards, flowers, and smiles. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
