8/28/19: The Nurse Called Me with Pathology Results - "Clean as a Whistle!"

SO RELIEVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The nurse called me on my cell phone, but I didn't answer because the number was "PRIVATE". Previously, all phone calls from the hospital had come through with a phone number!! Grrr.

I tried to transcribe her message. I must have listened to it 5 times!!

"I'm delighted to call you with wonderful news. The final pathology came back, and they got everything. There is no evidence that [the cancer] has gone anywhere, it's clean as a whistle... Congratulations, this is great news!"

I'm hoping this means I will not need chemotherapy or radiation. I still might need hormone therapy to help prevent the cancer from coming back, since my cancer was ER+ and PR+. The nurse said she's off-site today so I'll call her tomorrow to ask about next steps.

Hooray!!
