NO SURGERY.

My onc called me this afternoon to tell me that she had a consultation with the surgeon she was recommending and they decided that since I have already finished a rather agressive chemo, that surgey to remove more of my lymph nodes was not necessary. I told her that she almost made me cry again and she asked me if I was happy. I said YES. What a relief. I was not looking forward to another surgery and all the problems that I know are possible with removing more lymph nodes. Now it won't be long before I can start rads and put all of the hard stuff behind me.

Thanks

Donna

    Well that was indeed happy
    Well that was indeed happy news to start the weekend! I am grinning just thinking about how wonderful you felt at receiving that phone call! And I was thinking about your dr...how nice that she got to make that phone call! They deal with sad/bad news so often that it must be refreshing to call with happy news! And it couldn't happen to a nicer woman!

    Hugs,
