Today I had an ultrasound done to investigate an abnormality that was found near the surgical site of my lymphadenectomy duing a CAT scan. When I posted my initial note your words of encouragement helped keep me calm through the wait for the appointment. Can't even find the words to let you know how much that meant to me.

I had good news today! The abnormality was nothing more than a bulging blood vessel — a result of the sugery I had done back in January. I felt a huge sense of relief when the tech said she was not able to spot anything. It took both her and the doctor to find the culprit. The Doc said the bulge was nothing to worry about and that it was part of the healing process. He also confirmed that I have absolutely no lymph nodes left in my left arm pit. The surgeon apparently got them all. 🙂

So I'm still NED and pray I remain that way.
