Cautiously great news--the MRI was totally clear, so even though she didn't get as wide margins as she is supposed to (she couldn't because of the tumor's proximity to the nipple), she thinks I might not need more surgery. Plan is to meet with the radiologist and see what she thinks. Most likely we'll be waiting 6 weeks and getting another mammogram to make sure all is still clear, then starting radiation. But right now, I'm on cloud 9. Mastectomy is totally off the table. More surgery would definitely mean losing my nipple, so I'm hoping for no more surgery, but I'm so thankful for the news so far! I didn't think it was a possibility that the biopsy had gotten it all. Yay!
Merry Christmas!
