Big relief for sure that not only has the cancer not spread past the breast, now removed, but it’s still the time meet with an oncologist. The worry of facing chemo and or radiation is not there as originally thought….but rather, I hope to just understand more about how this cancer took over “two quadrants” of my breast.

Also with no history in the family, negetive for genetic predisposition to the cancer markers…I quickly feel my biology major roots coming out. So, good news so far, but I need more answers to help understand more about what the future can bring from what we see now.

My doctor let us know they feel they have achieved all clear margins and believe all the cancer is now removed!!!! Simply incredible.

I still have a few weeks of post-op appointments and recovery, possibly hormonal therapy treatments but boy am I ready to conquer anything! ……And most comforting for me, the drains are all out!

Just a quick update as I know some of you may have been waiting for the news :). Thank you all, here and above, for your support. It is without a doubt the power you devoted to me is what brought these results to me, I’m speechless

With having slept through most days and nights lately, I’ve been laying here awake at almost 2am just anxious to get on with it all.

For any night owls or friends in other time zones online now, I thought I’d throw up a post to connect….and after today’s dr appt, I should have a good idea of if chemo or radiation is next…at this point, I just want to know

…stay tuned and I’ll put the head to the pillow and see if I can drift off!

Yikes is all I can say after re-reading some recent posts — riddled with typos, lines and thoughts that make zero sense .. But overall, I’m feeling you are getting the jist :).

My type A, control nature and keen attention to detail should be back soon as pain meds are slowly being scaled back.

Things are feeling better and the movement from pain, to soreness is now probably best described as stiffness. Definitely better and consider myself on the low end of pain scale … A great thing!

Keeping in touch with you all has been very easy through the powers of the blackberry. But each day, I pull up the laptop from my bedside pile to see if I’m ready to get back to full size computer, but I’m just not.

Strangely, the screen is just too much and makes my eye lids droop and exhausts me immediately. So much I want to google and research and other things I want to get up to speed on with all this “down time”….patience Sue, I keep telling myself.

Ok, off for a nap then…if you can’t beat it…rest up and beat it later!
