My surgeon just called...the late night worry monster might get a vacation!
The suspense is over regarding pathology...the cancer is gone. There are no margins to trim because there weren't any actual cancer cells left in the lumpectomy tissue--it was apparently all gone with the biopsy tissue removal, weeks ago! My dear surgeon is the mistress of understatement--she says, "It's a nice report."
So--I still need my surgical follow-up and to meet with the oncology folks in the coming days, but the doctor said planning for radiation only is probably a pretty safe bet.
I am weeping...but it's the happy kind.
Tonight, I have the champagne I thought I'd have after my biopsy came back clean. Cheers!
Horray! All the Pantalani's are overwhelmed with joy! And...as the Romans do...(or, rather, SAY..)
