Yesterday I went to visit the surgeon for my post-op appointment. I found out that the three lymph nodes that he removed were all clean. Good news. Then he told me that he removed seven millimeters of cancerous cells (about one quarter of an inch) with clean margins. More good news. He said that about 70-80 percent of patients will have some tumor cells remaining after pre-surgery chemotherapy. Now I can truly say that I am cancer free.
During the first week of January I have an appointment with the radiation oncologist and my oncologist. I will be starting the Avastin treatments then if all looks good.
I have truly had a happy holiday with the good report from my surgeon. Hope you do too.
