Dr. Corn just called with the pathology report. Cancer was found in the one sentinel node only. The other four they tested were clear which was thrilling news. She doesn't have to go back in to remove nodes, she removed the sentinel and all surrounding tissue. I'm so happy although I was prepared to hear worse news and not be too upset by it.
There's a woman who runs the Iditarod, a dog sledding race in Alaska, who's had a double mastectomy and 22 nodes removed. I figured I could deal with it either way but its nice to get good news.
