I got good news today and wanted to share it. On Feb. 4, I had a lumpectomy. Today I went to the surgeon to find out the results. Though the area of cancer was much bigger than he had thought, (it was 1.8 cm) he did get it all and the lymp nodes are cancer free. I am so very happy. Now I will start the AI drug therapy and as soon as I have healed from the surergy I will start the 33 radiation treatments. I am so glad it was caught in time and has not spread to the nodes. I wanted to share this wonderful news. I know sometimes I will need an ear or should I saw an eye to vent a little with my concerns, it is so wonderul to know that I can come to this site and chat with women who are going, and have gone though the same thing. Have a wonderful day and a blessed one. Each and everyone is in my prayers. Judy
Judy, that's wonderful news! I know all of us who've gone through this same anxious waiting for pathology results share your relief. Interesting how such a short time ago, pre-cancer, you wouldn't have believed any part of this disease and its treatment could make you "happy" - the human spirit is very resilient indeed.
Best of luck as you go through radiation and your long-term hormone therapy. And thanks so much for sharing with us here - we'll continue to be with you every step of the way. PJH
