      Hey what's up,

      Hey what's up,

      Just got the results of my sentinel node biopsy and everything came back clear, no evidence of cancer in the lymph nodes. Man I'm psyched, what a long week it was to wait. My head was going a mile a minute all week long and this was a hell of a way to start summer! WHEW! I was figuring with the mitotic rate so high( 7) it had to have gotten into the lymph nodes! WOW, I had just signed up for a 1/2 marathon about two weeks before the initial diagnosis and now I can't wait to train again Sunday. I want to thank everyone for their help in the last couple weeks, it can get real tough when you're by yourself   (I'm single) and you guys always took time to give me some feedback.

          Great news! Just remember to do your follow up with onc and derm, and be aware of changes (but not paranoid).  Congrats on the news!

                  Yea Gtown!

                  You have a great summer and life! Just, please, remember this scare and carry what you've experienced and learned with you and help others. Teach those you train with. While you're psyched, do what you need to do to (hopefully) never be in this situation again.

                  All the best to you Friend.

                  Grace and peace,

                  Carol
