9/12/06 The Radiologist

Off to the Radiologist on Tuesday the September 12th.  I was nervous again- so felt some upset tummy and dizziness.  The people at the office in Nashua were again- wonderful!

We met with the Radiologist and with the nurse and discussed the Radiology sessions I’d have once Chemo was through.  I won’t see them again until next year!

They did call for my pathology report from the surgery.  At this point- it was in- hot off the presses. I was nervous to hear it- as I was waiting to hear these things out of my doctor’s mouth on my post-op appt on the 14th.  But Todd and I were ready.

Long and short of it- my margins were clean, 1of the 4 sentinel nodes had small traces of cancer and 1 of the 13 axillary lymph nodes had cancer- very very small traces- under 1mm.

EXCELLENT NEWS!

I got out of the appointment and there was a message from my doctor on my cell phone. I called her back and she gave me the same news.  She told me I was “basically cancer free”.

That is what I wanted for my birthday- and I got it- to be “basically” cancer free for my birthday!
