Triton Confirmed

I saw my doctor Monday. Everything from the surgery looks great. The pathology did come back positive for a high grade malignant sarcoma. To sum things up, here's an email I sent out after finding the results.

"my side feels much better.

the hand is about the same, maybe better.

i'm a little bummed about the results. so is ashley. regardless of knowing the probable result to be what it was, it's still a bit heavy to know for sure now that the cancer spread to my lung.

we'll just keep holding on to the positive fact that it was a single nodule and pray that it was a first/last occurrence. i still feel good about the whole thing, just a little down at the moment.

at least i knocked out my blog post while writing you."

like i said. we figured this. it's a bit crazy. in two weeks from detection to removal, the nodule grew from 0.5cm to 0.9cm. i'm glad we moved fast.

ashley and i had a great time at a wedding in the outer banks over the past weekend. life goes on...

It was isolated, it's gone now, and that's that. We gotta believe!

Ok, not what you wanted to hear but we'll hold on to the idea that...first it's gone, then it was only one and you're starting to feel a bit better. Team Harris will just regroup and continue to move forward in whatever way we need to. You're my hero and I love you tons. Mom

I believe Your text today present my feelings the best:

"Other than finding out the tumor in my lung was cancerous, things went[are] great. Look forward to seeing you this weekend. I &#%?@*&% hate cancer."

See you Friday. Much Love.

GO DEACS!

CP,
quote of the day:
" The people on our planet are not standing in a single file line. Look closely. Everyone is really standing in a circle holding hands. Whatever you give to the person standing next to you, it eventually comes back to you."
When I read this quote I thought of your blog.
Thank you for giving us laughter, hope, wisdom, love, and a great appreciation for friendship and health. Hang in there and keep fighting!
Love,
Karen Davidson Smith

Every day begins with prayer and every prayer time includes you and Ashley. We never know the path God has ahead and that's the incredible thing about faith. The unexpected (and the unwanted) often lead to unexpected miracles from the tiniest thing to life altering. You're nothing short of a testament to that. Hang in there and we'll never stop pulling in the good karma for you!
xoxo,
Kim
