Best Appt So Far!!!

We heard the best news ever today - chemo is NOT in my future! We beat the odds. We were told that I had a 90% chance of chemo treatment and after full evaluation of the pathology report, Dr. Anderson concluded that chemo treatments would not help me in any way. So, I'm DONE. Of course I still have to recover from the surgery but otherwise, I'm done! I'm done!! I'm a survivor - an official survivor. Cancer is gone from my body!!!!!!

There is the smallest of small chances that this could turn around, but no one expects it to be the case. Pathologists are looking at the specimen one more time to look for invasive cells but it's not expected they will find anything. My long term plan is to continue to be diligent about screening and to embrace healthy living. I also need to do the BRCA mutation test - which happens Sept. 2 (then takes a few weeks for results). If that should come up positive, I'd need to have one more surgery likely. But lets not think about that for a while.

I also saw my plastic surgeon today. Turns out, I can't pick up Channing for another couple of weeks. So I still need lots of help but according to him things are healing well. So we wait. We wait 3-4 weeks and see him again for a final check. We wait for the genetics test. And we wait for me to just feel better. I tire very easy and I'm very sore still - keeping up on the pain meds for sure. Other than that, I'm free.

Scott and I couldn't be happier. Once again, I feel so lucky. Wow.

Who's training for Race for a Cure? Mid September I think!
