Surprise Call from Doctor

Today we received a surprise phone call from the surgeon Dr. Meiers.  She indicated that she had a partial pathology report to share with us.....so here is what we know:
  • clear margins on the right
  • no cancer on the left
  • 4 lymph nodes were removed - 3 nodes had isolated tumor cells but the overall designation was node-negative
  • Grade is 2
  • Stage is 3
  • Treatable and early stage
  • Receptor report is pending
  • Referral was made to medical and radiological oncologists
We meet with Dr on April 4th for the full report.  In the meantime, we continue to meet with Dr. Souf, the plastics surgeon.

Eat, Pray, Walk continues to be the norm around here...thanks for the advice re: leg tightness and milk/bananas :) Things seems to be working its way out!  Sleep is still premium and napping is the best!

Much love to all,

BBB & Shelley :)
