I went to my ENT today to get one of the two drain tubes from Tuesday's surgery removed and just to generally make sure all was going well. Surprisingly, the path report, which was supposed to be back Monday, came back today.

I am pleased to report that a pathological examination of 22 nodes over 4 levels revealed NO signs of malignancy!!!

Talk about a great Memorial Day!
