We just got back from the follow-up with the surgeon. One of Karen's lymph nodes came up positive under the microscope. She is scheduled for an axillary lymph node dissection this coming Monday (down at Bay Front, again). This time the surgeon will have to install a drain for 5 or so days. For a couple days anyway, we'll have a nurse coming out to the house to check on it.
Just when Karen was getting more mobile from last Monday's adventure.
We have a first appointment with an oncologist this coming Thursday. The positive lymph node means chemo at some point. Radiation is still a given.
Less than desirable news, but we still are cautiously optimistic that this just means more treatment and in a year it will all be behind us.

Picture notes: I took this picture with Karen’s camera the same weekend Tim Fritz came over to take his series of pictures. Most of the credit goes to Tim for demonstrating how to pose Karen and some interesting backdrops for pictures in the yard. For me it was monkey see, monkey do.
