Hip Hip Hooray!

ALL good news yesterday! The margins are clear in the remaining tissue that was removed AND lymph nodes are NEGATIVE!! They took out 10 and all are clear.

This means no more surgery for me (as you can tell by the beautiful picture) that is good news. I still have to have one more NEG from the Oncotype (a test that determines the likliehood of the cancer reoccuring and also assess the benefits of chemo) to be in the clear for NO chemo.

I wil find out on Thursday what the next step is. I am sure I will start radiation soon and then Tamoxifen for 5 years!

No complaints here, I am so thankful because I know it could be so much worse.
