Pink Story: Clear Margins

My surgeon called.  He said they got “clear margins” on the surgery which basically means they got it all.  Also, all of the cancer they found was DCIS, a type of cancer that doesn’t have the biological ability to spread.  I love that.  It’s like worrying that a shark swimming in the water will bite you while you are standing on the beach.  Once you realize the shark can’t come on land, you feel much safer.  Sharks are incapable of coming on the beach just like my cancer was unable spread.

The really good news is I don’t need chemotherapy.  I will start radiation in about a month.  After 6 weeks of radiation treatment, I will be done.  It is all a blessing.  I still have a slightly deformed boob.  Better to be a bit deformed and cancer free.
