I haven't had any scans since before surgery....not even immediately afterward. I find myself thinking that if these scans are clear, then I will feel that he was right, and if they aren't clear, then I will know that my discomfort and lack of confidence were appropriate. I'll know soon enough..I go in 10 days for my scans. My surgeon said after surgery that he "got it all" and that I "no longer have cancer." How's THAT for self-confidence. He said that he was "very aggressive" with his surgery for me, going for a cure rather than taking any chance. I had 1 cm. clear margins and no nodal involvement. Oh, I hope that I have dodged a bullet.
