Helena,
Yes I had my surgery in Jacksonville. My doctor did not have to remove lympnodes because there was no visible spread. I'm still waiting from pathology for results from whatever they test. Haven't been told of any stage etc or any additional treatment. Does that come later after I receive pathology call in about a week Iwas told. My follow up is in a month. Now that the surgery is done, it took a heavy load of of me. Are you doing well? Thank you for your support .🥰

Hello, @rose53 This is excellent news! Yes, it takes a few days for pathology to review and then report the results. I got a call about a week after my surgery from the doctor's office to tell me the results of the pathology. Do you have a Mayo Clinic portal that you can sign into? If so, you can access reports on the portal. Reports from labs, scans, and pathology are first reviewed by your doctor before you can see them so if you don't see something you can message your doctor and ask. I've found that messages on the portal are answered very quickly.
Yes, that big sign of huge relief you are experiencing after the surgery. It was like that for me too. It took me a few weeks to get my energy back. I hope you take care of you and take the rest you need. My doctor told me that even though I had only a few visible incisions there were big changes inside me that take some time to heal.

Thank you for asking about me. Yes, I'm doing well and have my up and down moments - you know, that emotional rollercoaster you posted about.

At that one month followup my doctor discussed my cancer survivorship plan and gave me a written copy. If you need more treatment I think that's when you'll have that discussion with your doctor as you need to heal before doing anything else. Will you come back here and let me know what you find out from pathology?

Blessings to you and yours for Thanksgiving.
