Got all of the tumor and the lymph nodes are negative (that's the good one)!
I'll get the full report when I meet with her 4:20 on Monday and then I'll make the appointment with the oncologist but I'm feeling pretty darn good right now.
Of course, I've been a slug on the couch all day 45 minutes at the gym, at only 2mph on a treadmill totally wiped me out - better get used to that ... Hey on the other hand, how many woman do you know at the gym four days after a lumpectomy?

Oh, Kim, what wonderful news!
I know you are celebrating, and we are too!

Absolutely fabulous, I was hoping to read this before leaving work this afternoon! Have a great weekend, and no, I know of nobody else on a treadmill 4 days post procedure; you are truly special. Now eat some ice cream.

Kim, that is such great news, yipee is right!!!!!
Thank God your lymph nodes are clear -- I don't know a great deal about cancer, but I believe that's a Very Big Thing.
As far as workouts, you'll soon be climbing steep streets in Tuscan hilltowns -- that's a waaaay better workout than any ol' treadmill.
Thanks for the update, I'm so relieved.

Kim, it is so good to read this--and lots of people don't even do 2 miles an hour on the tread. And....in a few days you will be in Italy. So...since it was negative, just put it out of your mind until you return.

Now hand Chris your packing list and go put your feet up. You've earned a rest.

Kim,
Just catching up on this news of your lumpectomy. I am so happy that all is clear. I spent all day doing mammo's, next time come up to Boston and I'll take extra special care of you!!
Smart of you to have gotten a lumpectomy and not just let "it" hang out hoping it would just go away. Not everyone is as smart as you, good for you to get it done!
Now you really will have a fabulous time in Italy.
Hugs (and squishes)
Mindy
