mastectomy results
My surgery was June 1th and I just received my results today, nearly 2 weeks later. The news is GREAT! No evidence of tumor anywhere in that whole slab of boob! They must have done a good job on the partial mastectomy. This made me feel so much better for so many reasons. One of my fears was that they'd see some diffuse tumor throughout the entire breast with tails penetrating beyond the margins and into my chest wall. Pretty f'ing happy that that doesn't appear to be the case. They also took a lymph node and that was negative as well. I had the MRI today to look at those "fibroids" on my uterus. I had the hardest time not cracking up in the tube, I couldn't shake the silliness that Robby and I were cracking up about last night. I love that I can relish in my immaturity with him...even if it means that there are blurry pictures of my uterus in some doctor's files.
