Great news! I just heard that the pathology report said that they got all the cancer out (or in doctor-speak it was negative for residual DCIS)!! I will still have to go through radiation in the Fall, and then a five year course of tamoxifen after that, but what great news! Thanks for all your positive thoughts and vibes. Your support has really made a huge difference for us!
Here's a picture of me doing what I have been doing since surgery -- lying on the couch reading the paper and watching the Cubs play. Except today I'll do so knowing that the cancer has been excised, and any cells lying in wait to emerge will be foiled by the radiation and tamoxifen. How great is that?

REALLY great news! YEA! I thought I heard something like a great sigh of relief all the way down here in Texas!!!
Cute pic, by the way. Still looking for one of you modeling lounging shorts and making hand shadows on the wall behind the couch. What, you don't think that's good enough to make the new experience category?
I'm sure you DID hear it all the way in Texas. It was big and it was loud. But can't you see the hand shadows in your browser? I'm shocked!

Yay! This explains the Heiners truck I saw that day. May the truck be with you.
Jen
Thanks Jen! I believe that would be Heiner's - by - proxy, a fine but very important detail in the Heiner's catechism, especially given that the happy orange and yellow vehicles do not seem to venture beyond the Ohio border!

P.S. Jen,
There is an odd red truck that appears every few days in the neighborhood that is in contention for Heiner's status, but I'm not quite sure yet.
Susan
Congratulations, Susan! I'm pleased to hear such wonderful news. An eerily similar experience to Jen's...I drove past the Heiner's "outlet" store in the Plains Friday the 20th. I marveled at the trucks, and thought of you as I passed the Shriner's Hall. Awesome!
