Can't feel the lump!!

So I just had my 2nd round of chemo a week ago, and last week decided to finally see if I could still feel the lump (my almost 2cm tumor) and it was gone! I thought I was wrong, or imagining it, but today at the oncologist appt, he did an exam and couldn't feel it either!

Just the thought that this chemo is really working and shrinking that thing makes me so happy - makes up for the bald head, I guess...I just never imagined that I would feel such a noticeable difference so soon.

Meeting with surgeon next week to schedule the scan after 3rd round to check for sure on the sizes. Thought maybe if these bad boys were "gone", I could get out of the last rounds of chemo, but oncologist wasn't going for it
