Hi Ladies,Happy 2009! I hope you girls had a wonderful new years celebration! We had a "gathering" at our place which turned into a bit of a beirut/journey singing party...as it usually does. But it was definitely a great time. I received some wonderful news for the New Year. The 8 lymph nodes they removed are all negative!!!!! And the surgeon was able to get clean margins which means all of the cancer is GONE. I am hesitant to say I am cancer free just because I still have to meet with the oncologist to determine treatment but I am very excited with this news. The pathology board and Women and Infants reviewed my slides so I had about 20 doctors all concur with the findings.
I have to go for lymphatic therapy b/c they want to make sure my lymphatic system recovers properly and that my arm doesn't swell. I am meeting with a fertility specialist on Monday to discuss those options and, as I mentioned before, have my oncology appointment on Tuesday. They are really doing everything possible for me at the center and my social work counselor has said that she hasn't seen anyone fly through the system like this before. So all in all this was a great holiday and I am really optimistic. Again, thank you so much for all the calls and letters and prayers, it has helped so much. When this is all done we have to celebrate!
Love you girls!xoxo Erin
