So far, so good...

Just got off the phone with the surgeons office and I am happy to report that the final pathology on the two removed lymph nodes is done and there is no trace of any cancer in them! This is great news as it confirms that the cancer has not spread beyond the tumor. The initial pathology on the breast tissue is also negative for any signs of cancer which means the chemotherapy did an good job of eradicating the tumor. The nurse said the lab was going to continue to take additional slices of the removed breast tissue and that the final report would be ready on Tuesday.

Holly has been resting well and feeling a bit tired and sore but is actually managing to work from home a bit today. She needs some rest from time to time and is moving a bit slow but, in general, feeling better. Holly stopped taking her pain medications yesterday and it has not been a problem today.
