I AM OFFICIALLY CANCER-FREE!!!

The surgeon's office just called to tell me that the margins around my latest excision were CLEAR!!!

I am technically CANCER-FREE at this point! Yay!

The surgeon's office is going to fax the pathology report over to the oncologist. Once I am healed from this last surgery I will be able to start the radiation treatments, hopefully by the week of October 6th. That should leave plenty of time to get all the radiation treatments in before the end of the year (and before my co-pays kick in again on our insurance! Woot!)

I am so happy right now I could just spit. But that would be gross. So I won't.

Many thanks to all of you who have been so supportive and have helped with all your good thoughts and prayers. I hope you know how much I've appreciated it all.

Milissa! Glad to hear that everything went well with the second surgery. I never doubted that you would be able to pull through this. You don't screw around and there ain't no messin' with that! Take that loser Cancer! Anyhow, as I was catching up on all of your Blogs (yes, all, b/c Nate and I tried searching it on Blogger and couldn't find it previously)and I came across the blog about you writing a Children's Book about the topic. I am behind you on this one. As I read through your blogs, although the topic is dismal, your spirits and wit keep the whole journey entertaining. Which, reminded me of the book that Mary Ellin just let me borrow, "Lopsided." She was hilarious, and you remind me of her. So, a children's book is a logical side project for you! Perhaps you should contact Meredith's Publisher? I'd like to see a rough draft by the holidays! :) Glad to here you're doing well and that R. was not freaked by the subject!
