Free and Clear, just need to follow up

All; We met w/ the oncologist yesterday. The pathology report shows they did get all of the tumor (yeah) and that there was no cancer in any of the lymph nodes (YEAH). It doesn't really impact the treatment any - as the surgeon said "if there was cancer in the lymph nodes I had stage 3 cancer and would need 4 - 6 months of chemo, if there wasn't cancer there, they'd assume there was before the radiation, and I would need 4 - 6 months of chemo." So it is more a psychological victory - and a good one. So I guess you can say I am now cancer free. Thanks for all the support. Still hope to be back in the office on Monday. Dave
