We had a really good visit with the surgeon yesterday. The pathology report indicated that the margins were clear which is always a good thing. There were 2 out of 14 lymph nodes that were positive for cancer cells which wasn't a surprise because they showed up already on the MRI back in February. The lymph node involvement is why I have to do radiation therapy. The one surprise she told us was that the original tumour which they thought was about 1 cm was actually 4.6 cm. A bit bigger I'd say! There was also a 10 cm band of tissue that was full of pre-cancerous cells, so this definitely confirmed the surgery was a good thing.
I finally got the call from Kitchener to have the planning CAT scan done and meet with the radiation oncologist-that will be this afternoon. Hopefully I'll leave there with my schedule for the radiation treatments, I'm looking forward to getting it started.
