I wanted to give a quick update. I'm recovering well - still no pain and I feel really good.

I got the pathology report back and the doctor called to discuss it with me. The removal of the cancer was a larger mass than expected. She’s wondering why the MRI didn’t pick up the larger size of the DCIS. There were 4 lymph nodes removed that tested negative for cancer 🙏

The surgeon was unable to get clear margins, so I'll need another surgery for that ☹️ I'll have more news in a few weeks and in the meantime I will be referred to the oncologist.

Outside of this news, I'm fine, just hating that a 2nd surgery is needed.
