One week post double mx - CPR!!
Complete pathological response. I'm still in shock. All nodes clear, breast tissue clear. There was one node that had a marker that they didn't get. It was a rotar node. Going back for that but neither my surgical not medical oncologist feel it's anything to worry about but they are not leaving it anyway. Will go back for it soon.

Since I fell in a grey area that was enough for me to decide against radiation. Time for the healing to begin.

The double mx and tissue expanders has been going remarkably well, praise God!! 3 out of 5 drains left, pulling one more tomorrow. Hopefully the rest by thanksgiving. Not much pain 6 days later. Just pressure from the expanders and drains. Looking forward to move past this phase.

Thank you all for your support over the last 7 months. ��

Eva

I don't know how to change it from CPR to PCR. Hope everyone didn't think I needed CPR after my double mx ����. Sorry.
