Hello all!

The last few weeks have been pretty good and I certainly am glad to have less chemo-related symptoms. Feeling well enough to have a to-do list this weekend as I prepare for surgery on Monday. We'll be heading to the hospital early and probably be there most of the day. Pathology results are expected within 1-2 weeks, and will determine the next steps for treatment. I'm looking forward to having the procedure behind me and feel well-prepared by the team at UW. I was able to save enough time-off from work to have the week after surgery to recover. Grateful to have a couple visits from family during that time. 

Thanks to all of you for keeping me in your prayers and providing support in many different ways. It matters more than you can imagine. 

Love, 

Mel
