Journal entry by Lorena Yanez —
Hello Family and friends !
We finally after some delays with one of my surgeon out sick and additional testing to ensure my body is ready for surgery have confirmed July 26 is the date for surgeries.
I will be getting a mastectomy of my right breast, breast reconstruction directly after, a testing of the lymph nodes under my right underarm to make sure cancer has not spread and a hysterectomy.
The surgeries will be done at Helford Hospital located on the City of Hope Campus.
We are still unaware how long I will be in the hospital but will keep everyone updated. Please keep myself, my husband and children and grandchildren in your prayers, some of my children will be here and the others will be in Arizona.
We had pre op appts yesterday and everything is set and ready to go. I have been blessed with the best team of surgeons the hospital has!
Next Wednesday I begin prep for surgery :(
All liquid diet. ( fun times )
GOD IS SO GOOD TO ME !
We are still looking for blood donations just in case blood is needed. Thank you to my Nueva Vida church family, my husband and children will have dinners provided for a whole week after my surgeries. Lord willing my bff will be coming out for a few days to help out as well!
Thank you for all the well wishes, the prayers in your churches, the fasting days you have done, the video chats, text messages, and encouragement you sent,
We love u all and thank you for being part of this journey with us !
