Sing, Dance and Rejoice
posted in General |My “close personal friend” with breast cancer had some great news after her surgery last week.
We saw the surgeon today. The drain is out; the wounds healing well. There is post op physical therapy to be done to preserve full range of motion of her right arm after the node dissection.
The pathology results are good: The tumor is classed as Stage I.
lymph node involvement detected.
The margins are clean (they most likely got it all)/
The tests for Estrogen and other receptors are not back.
SO. Only radiation. No chemotherapy. Long range treatment decisions will come with those final test results, I think.
She will see an Oncologist as soon as the appointment is made but will not have the radiation until after she is back from her residency stint in Arizona.
