    I got the pathology from my surface lymph node dissection surgery.   All clear margins and no detectable cancer.  I never thought I would ever be so happy to stay at stage 3A.  I am so thankful.  Next steps are ct scans and Interferon.   2 surgeries in 30 days.  Do things always move this fast?

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

      Colleen,

      Things do move pretty fast.  I am stage 3C (unknown primary).  I had the surgeries about 6 weeks ago and started Interferon infusions (4 weeks).  Just finished the high dose and now I am doing the self injections(started last night).  I have confinued to work but it has been challenging due to the fatigue.  I wish you all the best with your upcoming surgeries.
