…and it was worse than we thought going in. It turns out that a bunch of nodes were positive for cancer so they came out. Positive nodes takes us down the road of chemotherapy. How much, what it is and all that is still unknown and will take some time to figure out. Then she’ll have radiation, too.
They are going to keep her in the hospital for the night. I should be able to get her home tomorrow morning.
I’ll post again when there is more information.
The surgeon was surprised – again – by what she found. None of this has gone like anyone expected. Loretta deserves a break. She gets strength from all of you so your continued support is very much appreciated.
Love & (((HUGS))) & prayers & love & (((HUGS))) & prayers & Love &…
Ditto the love, hugs, prayers, Loretta. They are really piling up for you.
This is a GOOD thing!!

Oh Loretta. I’m sending the big love beams your way.
Sending all of my love to the left coast.
Danny and I are sending tons and tons of love and prayers.
Which floor are you on? Are you okay with me letting our Chief Nursing Officer know so she can keep an extra-good eye on her?
(Her sister, Christine sure would LOVE that!!! 😀 THANK YOU!!!)
But I ABSOLUTELY defer to Scott who has always taken excellent care of her!!! 😀
All the love in the world sent especially to Loretta! Thank you very much for keeping us updated.
What a day, Scott — you must be exhausted. We are thinking of you both. I don’t like pink anymore either.
Love and hugs
Loretta, you are in every good thought I can think. And hoping you’ll let me know if there’s anything – anything at all – that you might need. XOXO
Sending love, peace, hugs, peace, and more love. Praying that y’all get some good, deep sleep tonight. Praying that you find that unbelievable freaking crazy ass fight that you have inside just waiting for a chance to come roaring out!! RWWWOOOAAARRR!!! Go get that shit!!!!
Damn Damn Damn and Damn!
Another friggen bump in the road — we hates it
Love and Hugs and more love and more hugs and a virtual storm of healing thoughts and prayers
Anything your heart desires, that is within my power – just whistle
OK Loretta, this is a bump in the road… But you’re a Bainbridge driver! So, you’re used to handling bumps, and you know there’ll be a gorgeous sunrise ’round every bend. I’m working on a heap o’ really crappy jokes.
OK, this sucks. But you climbed Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams and walked 3-Days and have given support and unconditional love to everyone who needs it and now its your turn to lean on the people who love you. I’m available 24/8 for whatever you send my way. And I’ll pray everyday and read your blog for updates. Take care of you now. I love you. Dee
Kowahl love and prayers coming to you directly from Buck Dr.
I covered your class today Loretta, it was a bit somber. I think they thought that was an excuse for not working hard – so I pushed them to work for YOU today. You may see some of them in the hospital as you leave.
Joking aside. Big encouraging, loving hugs for a community that truly loves & respects you.

I’m not a very religious person, but I know someone is looking over you and your family. May you have the strength to beat this! You have a very loving and caring support group of friends. And you have your best friend, husband and lover Scott beside your side.
Bless you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers – always.
