My family, who spoke to the surgeon while I was recovering, said I looked great and further chemo was likely unnecessary. The only conclusion I can draw is they think I'm stage two after surgery, but I don't really know. We'll discuss next week when pathology comes back. Obviously, I would love no more chemo and it would get me a reversal before the holidays. I'm just crossing my fingers.
