Good News!

I got the call today -- the call I wish I had gotten back in June. The biopsy was benign! There was a little hilarious confusion when the woman called to let me know it was benign, could hear my sigh of relief, then got confused when I stopped her from telling me about getting regular mammograms to let her know I was having a double mastectomy next month. All she knew was that the biopsy wasn't cancer -- not that I already had it on the other side, etc. It was funny. Maybe you had to be there...

I'm awfully relieved that we're still just dealing with the right side. This means they can leave my lymph nodes on the left alone during surgery and I don't need radiation on that side. At least I think that's the deal. So good to have a little bit of good news even though I was prepared for the opposite. 

Still feeling well and trying to do some things around the house and outside in this gorgeous weather before Thursday. As each chemo is taking a little more out of me and lingering a little longer, we'll see when I come out the other side. Hopefully I'm doing OK by Halloween. We'll see!
