Great News

Great news from the hospital. The biopsies of the lymph nodes were negative - indicating that the cancer has not spread. Elly will not therefore have to have chemotherapy. The doctors are also happy that the margin between where the tumor was located and the chest wall was sufficient for there to be no requirement for radiotherapy. This has to be confirmed next Tuesday when all the medics have their multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meeting, but the surgeons are pretty certain of their ground. Elly will have to be on tamoxifen from here on in, but that's small price to pay for peace of mind. Once again our thanks to everyone for their kind wishes and words of support. No more blogs now unless Tuesday's MDT meeting comes up with something new. Over and Out.
