Good News!

First of all, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for all the concern, support, offering to help, and the many prayers!  It really does mean a lot and I certainly feel at ease with all the kindness.

I went to the dr. again today with some great news.  I've had an MRI and CT scans in the last couple of days and they all came back clear of any more cancer.  What a relief!  The pathology results from the lump removed were very positive as well, confirming it is in Stage 1 (the earliest stage), and that it is acting as a non-aggressive cancer.  This is all great and we feel so good about it all! 

Down side is that next week I have another surgery to remove more tissue (pre-cancer cells) and a lymph node for some testing.  Then I have four weeks of recovery and then I'm supposed to start radiation. 

So it will be a while until this is all over, but knowing what I face makes it so much more bearable.  I actually do feel great and am not on the emotional rollercoaster that I've been riding for the last week.

Wish me luck and keep the prayers coming!
