The Oncologist called...


with the results of the MRI from Friday. She confirmed the findings from the mammogram- No Tumor remains in the breast. The MRI also showed healthy lymph nodes. She was so excited that she called herself. She said that this was a fantastic result. Yeah it is fantastic!!! Her thought was that this bodes well for a lumpectomy- with no lump basically they go in and take out the clip that they put in and test the cells around to verify no cancer is present. So we are on Cloud Nine. It seems that my body can grow one heck of a tumor - it was 4cm- and it can also kill one heck of a tumor!!! I still have 3 more chemo treatments but at this point I feel it is for good measure. I can't believe there is no trace of the tumor at all! Next step is to hopefully hear back from the surgeon as to a surgery date.
