Best. News. Ever.

I saw my surgical oncologist, Dr. Rourke, today for a follow up appointment and to get my pathology report results.

I got the news that I've been anxiously waiting for...

"NO RESIDUAL CARCINOMA" across the board.

I am officially a cancer survivor!

My doctor told me that it's rare that they get to provide labs that are this clean. They couldn't have been better. Wonderful news!

This has been a long and trying seven months, but I have finally kicked cancer's ass. Woo hoo!

Because my labs were so good, radiation is actually an option right now. I'll meet with radiology to discuss pros and cons. Because of my age and the aggressiveness of the type of cancer that I had (past tense!!), it's generally recommended as a preventative measure just to be sure. Once I have that meeting, I'll make the decision for sure. It won't be for at least three more weeks since I'm still recovering from surgery and they want to make sure that my incision is healed first. I'll keep you updated on that part...

I cannot thank you enough for all of your support and juju! You've all helped me through this! Xoxoxo
