A little souvenir of a terrible year...

...except this one's a good thing (tm?). Following my lumpectomy/axillary dissection surgery on 12/16/'15, my pathology report came back as pCR. In a nutshell, the heavy-duty neoadjuvant chemo did the trick, and there's no evidence of residual cancer in the areas where it'd reared its ugly head. Best.Xmas.Present.EVER. I'm still healing from the surgery, I'm dealing with some horribly-painful "cording," and I've got 6 weeks of daily rads to "look forward" to (HA!), but I'll take 'em. I'll never take the cocky stance that I've "beaten" cancer—but right now, I'm cancer-free. Here's to a happier, healthier year! Cancer-free in 2016, w0000000000000t!!!!

  3. Woohoo ! That's really good news to start the year with. I also had complete response to chemo and am now just over 3 years NED. Hope the cording settles down soon and your rads go OK xx
