Pathology Results

My surgeon called me last night, a day early, to let me know the results of my pathology.

The news was good. The best I could hope for. They found only dead cancer cells in the tissue removed where the tumor used to be and in the nodes. It appears that I have had a complete pathologic response to the chemo and what ever else was happening to my body.

In the early new year, I have an appointment with the medical oncologist and we will decide what my next course of treatment will be. There may be more chemo. There may not be. There will likely be more radiation.

I have some time now to take deep breaths, recover from the surgery, continue to recover from the pneumonia and the side effects of the chemo.
