Written by Josh:
Ok, lets just all agree, I am a banker with ADD and not involved in the medical field whatsoever (for that we are all happy). As a result, there were two things written yesterday that need to be revised.
First, while there apparently are ancillary lymph nodes in the body, the nodes that were extracted yesterday for testing were axillary lymph nodes.
Secondly, I know we were all impressed that the test results would be back within 24 hours. Well, you shouldn't be. It is next Wednesday when we get the test results. I contemplated telling everyone that the lab was backed up and it was going to take much longer than originally anticipated, but since this is Cassy's blog, she refused to let me lie on it.
Now for the dictated portion of the Blog by Mrs. Casandra Scribner:
"I currently feel like I have performed 2,000 push-ups and an elephant is sitting on my chest, but I am using my incentive spyrometer to make sure I do not get pneumonia. Ummm, babe I don't know, I am on pain medication..."
Maybe an exact dictation of her blog wasn't the best way to go, I will pick it up from here...
We are planning to leave the hospital tonight or tomorrow morning to provide Cassy a quiet place to recover. Hot Chocolate and a warm fire will do her some good.
Thank you all for the prayers and kind emails/texts/voicemails/etc. We love you and will update you when there is more.
Thanks,
Josh
Too funny about the incentive spirometer, that gave me a good laugh. I'm sure you are being the perfect patient.... I hope your recovery continues to go well.

Cassy and Josh, I'm a friend of Bev's and a way back 1st Assembly'er. Josh, you might remember my kids, Matthew and Marissa Strickland? Anyway, I'm a breast cancer survivor, 9 years, with involvement in my sentinel node. I had an 8cm tumor (which is the size of a softball) and reconstruction two years after. I did not do all the research Cassy did and wish I had had both removed at the same time, though I've never had a problem with the other side. I am so proud for both of you. That this journey, though not one of your choosing, is being taken with each other, your families and friends but most importantly with our Heavenly Father. Cassy, in reading your blog, your attitude sounds a lot like mine in that we want to just "get on with it and get through it." You will do just fine. In the future, please don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail, anchor76msw@aol.com, facebook, or phone 850-814-8986. I now live in Orlando but am happy to talk AT ANY HOUR at any time. Sometimes it's kinda nice to be able to talk to someone, not quite so close, who has been on a similar journey. I will continue to lift you all up in prayer and get updates from this blog and Bev's fb posts. Please do know my offer of an ear and anything else you can think of within my abilities is yours for the asking. Seriously. With His love and from a Busom Buddy, Myra J. Brazell
