Good-bye For Now, Dr. Smith

Today was my post-op appointment with Dr. Smith. After an excision on the lumpectomy, he is 98% sure that all of the cancer was removed. I'm pretty sure that it is as good as it gets, and 100% is just not in a surgeon's vocabulary. So that is great news. My next step is to meet with a Medical Oncologist to discuss chemotherapy and hormone therapy. Following that, will be a Radiation Oncologist to discuss radiation. Although I know that I still have a lot of stuff ahead of me, I am greatly relieved to have the CANCER OUT OF ME!!!!

As for tonight, we celebrated with a Papa Murphy's pizza and ice cream from my friend and fellow breast cancer survivor, Anna. (Anna is currently raising money for breast cancer research and training to walk the 3-day walk - I've put a link to her website in my Favorites section)

Thank you for your prayers, the surgery was a success.....
