Clear Margins and Good (relatively) Pathology!


 Linda is recovering from surgery quite well and is up and around (she did overdo it a bit at first!)


We got the pathology back from the surgery and it was good news in two regards:  


1) The surgeon was able to get clear margins (completely remove the tumor with margin around it).  


2) The pathology from the tumor itself matched the biopsy which indicated DCIS (non-invasive this time!) cancer.  It was a nice relief since there was a chance that the pathology from surgery could have been worse than the biopsy.  DCIS is very treatable - so we will meet with the radiation oncologist and the medical oncologist over the next week or two to see what is recommended next.


Once we get information on a treatment path I provide another update. 


Thanks!


Rob.
