I realize this is my second update today - but I just received the BEST news possible and there's no way I couldn't share it. My breast cancer surgeon's partner, Dr. G., just came by my hospital room to tell me she just got my pathology results back from my mastectomy on Wednesday. There was not ONE cancer cell in ANY of the tissue they removed during surgery - which means that Dr. B. got it ALL when he removed the original lump in December!!! They still believe it was the right decision for me to have done the bilateral mastectomy, because of the gene I carry and the risk of recurrence, but this is the best news we could have possibly hoped for!!! Hallelujah!!
I have no photos or illustrations to demonstrate my excitement - but I'm sure you understand. I will still have to undergo chemo, in case any straggler cells escaped into my bloodstream - it will be the best prevention of it ever coming back - but for now I am just absolutely thrilled. I will have to stay at the hospital through tomorrow because of a low grade fever I've had today - but that is the least of my concerns. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!!
