Pathology report

I have not posted since I came home from surgery and wanted to let everyone know the latest. I don't think we could have had a better pathology report. When the pathologist calls the surgeon to verify the specimen was correct and the surgeon assures him it is, you know its good. The pathologist found no evidence of cancer in the specimen and the original spot of the tumor only held scar tissue. That was one of those kick **** kinda moments. I am now gearing up for my cleanup chemo that starts in December. WOOHOO!

    nodes
    Out of 10 zero came back positive. The chemo is to help reduce the chance of recurrence to a smaller percentage.

    Awesome
    What wonderful news. It's a good thing for the "mop up" chemo. I just finished myself with the chemo, just an added insurance for the future. Congratulations!
