I am cancer-free! I wasn't "cured," which, to me, indicates a treatment. I, for one, had my cancer physically removed by surgery, and because of the aggressiveness of my surgeon, he found no margin where the cancer had crossed, and he found no node where the cancer had spread, and he removed the nodal pathway where microscopic cancer cells might have moved.

I am cancer-free, and I celebrate it!

I realize that I am a very lucky girl, and I thank God every day for the skill and aggressiveness of my surgeon.

Also, the location of my lesion is one that lends itself to the possibility of clean excision, as opposed to some other locations.
