Viability

The pathology reports for everything they cut out of me last week just came in.

Highlights:

-The words “No viable cancer cells found in margins” at least 15 times

-My diaphragm biopsy was just a cyst

-They took 50 lymph nodes! 50!

-Colon Robinson was taking up almost half the diameter of my colon, and had 4 polyp sidekicks.

Overall pretty good news and aligns with the scan results that show they likely got everything gettable. I am still deep in the woods, but starting to feel like I am on a path towards another biome.

I feel very lucky to have found the surgeons and oncologists I have, and am profoundly grateful to them for their expertise and strategic approach.

I am not even going to talk about how I feel about all my friends and family because my thumbs will wear through the glass on my phone before I scratch the surface of describing how thankful I am. I am still keeping a list. You’ll see.

Anyway, that’s it.

Happy Tuesday!
