      Got the results back from the excision…depth margin showed no trace which is great! Periphery margin tested positive so back from an additional margin and excision tomorrow. Hoping the large scope does not complicate the healing of the incison, but we shall see. Thanks for the encouragement from everyone on here so far…looking for a good report after this one and hopefully it is the last one needed

      Spoke with the Dr this morning and was told it seems to be very early stage and he would classify it between situ and stage 1…very confident that the procedure today will take care of it and then of course 3 month visits and close monitoring. Did state that obviously results of testing from the WLE "could" change the status, but does not expect that. Cautiously optimistic going into today

      How did your WLE go? I am glad you went back for another opinion for sure, and hope things are going well with recovery. Was everything good news on your margins and tests from the WLE? Where was the spot, and how large was the incision for the WLE? not to pepper you with questions, just really trying to get as much info as possible from other people instead of the "terrifyingly vague" internet posts I normally see.
