Pathology good!
Heard good news from my surgeon's nurse today. There was absolutely no invasive carcinoma left anywhere, and all lymph nodes were negative! WOW! Just a little in situ where the tumor had been. I'm going to talk with my doctors about not doing radiation and I'm almost certainly not doing hormone therapy. I'll keep up the herceptin and do genetic counseling next.
I have my appt with the surgeon tomorrow to hear more, but I had to share.
Positive news to add to our positive thoughts and keep the us fighting strong. We can do it!
