Hi Everyone,
For those who don't know already, Holly has been diagnosed with Stage II cervical cancer. We found out right before Christmas and things have been happening pretty fast. Therefore, sorry we have not been able to inform everyone, while trying to accept this news ourselves. Last Thursday, she had a full abdominal hysterectomy with a specialist in Portland. Everything went well and today we got the results from Pathology. There is no cancer in her lymph nodes and they were able to get clear margins around it. This is exactly the news we were hoping for!!! The lab is still trying to sort out the exact subtype of cancer, apparently there are no squamous cells. Since it is undetermined the subtype we will not know until the next 2 days on how extensive the treatments will be. The doctor is suggesting 6 weeks of radiation and probably chemotherapy starting in about a month after she has recovered from the surgery. We are taking one day at a time!!!!! Today, we are celebrating clear lymph nodes and clear margins.
This is a way for everyone to be updated with Holly's current progress as she kicks this cancer's ass! She is going to have to get better about checking her email more frequently and "possibly" maybe actually use facebook ;)
We want to thank everyone for their support and prayers.
Holly..you are an amazing soul sista! You are going to fight this. You are a GREENE and can accomplish anything. I love you and hope you know I am here for you. GO KUNG FU FIGHTER!
