March 11, 2005 - Finally some good news!

The doctor called today. He had gotten the pathology report back from my mastectomy, and didn't want to wait till my next appointment. All 16 of my Lymph Nodes came back CANCER FREE. In fact, my pathology states, that except for a few residual foci at the original biopsy site, there was no other cancer cells to be found in my entire breast, nipple, lymph nodes, or chest wall. My General Surgeon says that even though it’s not in my lymph nodes, there’s still a small chance that the cancer can spread through my bloodstream to other organs of my body, but it is a small chance. Best news we've heard all year!
