Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 64 | My recent biopsy showed no new tumor and no cancer in the lymph node. They can't really tell me why the node got that big but the main thing is that it is clear of cancer! I am very happy indeed! It has been quite a roller coaster ride, with the needle biopsy, MRI,CT Scan again and another surgery, but it has all turned out okay!!
I wish you all the blue skies and sunshine and I pray we all just keep hearing good news!!

Today hubby had follow up visit with surgeon and learned pathology report of tissue removed during reconstructive surgery Oct. 17/07 is cancer free, also no evidence of recurrence on physical examination.
