Hi Gina!
Clear margins! That is great news! Waiting for the pathology can be a bummer, but I was just glad that "IT" was out of me and hardly gave it a thought until I got the results 2 weeks post-op. My Dr told my parents right after surgery that he thought 2 nodes were suspicious, so when pathology came back with no node involvement it was unexpected good news! I really didn't worry about it too much though; I was busy recovering anyway. :-)
Yes, being unable to be understood is frustrating but it will get better. I hope you are healing well!
:-)
