I saw the surgeon on Thursday. He told me some good news - that the lymph node taken had tested negative for cancer and that the tumor he had taken out was 7cm with a 2cm margin around it which is clear of cancer cells, thus, as far as he's concerned he took all the cancer out.
This is truly good news. I'm particularly relieved and oh so very grateful about the lymph node as if that hadn't been negative, it would have necessitated a much different treatment and would have moved the cancer up a stage - this is when it becomes really serious.
So, the operation can be classed as a success.
