Great news after mastectomy

I got my pathology report after my mastectomy on 09/25--also got my drainage tubes removed--YEAH.

The report showed no cancer present, some DCIS and no cancer in 17 lymph nodes removed. I'm doing well but just so sore. I have exercises to start tomorrow and will be doing some physical therapy.

Will start TCH every 3 weeks for 4 months on 10/15.

Thanks to all of you have given me answers and words of encouragement

I need to complete my bio with signature but here is the lowdown:

Age 47, TN
Her2+, ER/PR-, Stage II
Sentinel node biopsy showed speck in lymph nodes
Did clinical trial for 3 months of weekly Herceptin, 1000 mg of Tykerb daily
No cancer present at time of mastectomy and none in 17 lymph nodes removed!!!!
