Everyone,

I had my stitches removed and my scar doesn't look too bad. The pathology report didn't come back as good as I wanted. They removed 4 lymph nodes and two had extra capsular spread. I was hoping the cancer would have been contained in the lymph nodes and future radiation chemo could have been reduced. I will find out what my actual treatment plan will be on Tuesday. Trying to stay positive!
