--80% of my tumor was dead tissue! This is great, considering how large the tumor had gotten (9.7 cm, or about 4 inches).
--Out of the 15 nodes they took out of my right arm, only one was positive for cancer and that was only microscopic.
--My left breast and left sentinel node were completely clear
--The cancer had spread into my chest wall, so that is the bad news. But, I was already slated for radiation, so that will take care of that.
My oncologist was very happy with this report. I will be meeting with my surgeon tomorrow (Wednesday) and the radiation oncologist on Thursday. The three of them will discuss the situation and come up with a recommended plan of action. I'll see my oncologist next week and then as soon as I'm healed from the surgery, I'll go onto the next step.
I am so relieved that this was good news. I really needed it this time. I've had too much bad news for awhile.

Hi Lisa, I had read your blog a long long time ago and only just got back to blogging myself.
You are such an incredibly strong person. I always hated it when people said that to me, cause I would be thinking "NO IM NOT!" soo I hope you will forgive me for saying it. :) You have dealt with so much and I cant even imagine what its been like for you. But others seeing our lives and being inspired, or learning something from what we have dealt with.. while it doesnt take the stuff away it maybe makes it feel like a purpose. You are an inspiration. I am glad you got some good news.
