Ok, so met with the surgeon today.

Margins are 100% clear.

Pathology on the nodes revealed NO cancer. The PET may have been a false positive.

My surgeon has told me to meet with the radiation oncologist to determine whether I should have radiation or not (he is leaning toward not).

Meet with oncologist on Tuesday.

Not sure whether I can get excited or not...but regardless of whether I need further treatment, the news is awesome.
