Deb,

I hope the pathology report shows that it wasn't cancerous and that you don't have to deal with a recurrence of whatever it was.

However, if it does turn out to be cancerous, please DO NOT take the word of a single surgeon that he "got it all". Unfortunately there are too many people here who heard those words and developed a false sense of security from them.

Please keep us posted on how you're doing when you get the results.

Cathy
