pathology report!

Friday I had a message from my doctor with good news! The pathology report showed that there is NO MORE INVASIVE TUMOR left and that my lymph nodes are CLEAR! Yippee!!

She did say that I had alot of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). This is not considered cancer but is a risk factor for breast cancer. It's not necessarily a precursor for future cancer but a marker.

At this point I don't know what we will do about that, but the good news right now is the pathology report for the invasive cancer. It's gone! I'll get more details from her when I go for my post-op appointment on March 17th.

I'm continuing to recover well from the surgery. Maybe I was feeling a little too peppy on thursday because as I was coming down the stairs I turned my ankle and have a sprained ankle/foot. ugh! Now I've really been slowed down and am forced to keep off of my feet.

Enjoy the beautiful weekend and I'll be dancing soon!

love,
Bonnie
