Journal entry by Rachael Litchfield —
UPDATE
Last Thursday we met with a surgeon in LaCrosse who is willing to remove both breasts in one surgery! We will be meeting with a plastic surgeon on April 29th to discuss the reconstruction process. Which is scheduled to happen in the same surgery as the removal. This will be at least a 5 hour surgery. Recovery period will take 4-6 weeks.
We are "praying " the cancer will not be in any more lymphnodes as this will pose a risk for lymphadema.
We will be selling T-Shirts to keep helping Shadie get to the end of her Breast Cancer journey! Our friend Hope Gipp has made up about 100 t-shirts for us to sell. If anyone is interested in purchasing a t-shirt please message one of us and we will get you a shirt.
We currently have 2x and 3x for $25
XL, L, M, S for $20. If you are interested in Child sizes we can get those made up too.
FYI. These go very nice with the bracelets that Erin Davis donated !
A $25 donation to CaringBridge powers a site like Shadie's for two weeks. Will you make a gift to help ensure that this site stays online for them and for you?
