Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to update y'all that my surgery was as perfect as could be! My margins were all over 1cm, my tumor was only 1.0cm in size (where they thought it was 2.5cm) and it did not spread to my lymph nodes! yay!

However, the lab reported that I have perineural nerve invasion. Has alone else had this? I heard its not as serious as if it had spread to my lymph nodes, but I am still worried.

Thanks much!
