Results in a FLASH

So my strategy worked, I told you all I wouldn't know anything for 2 weeks and no one asked and here I am with results in 5 days! Yes, as you can tell from the image, we have a little of both, positive and negative results.
1. the BRACA test, the one that shows whether my cancer is one that is hereditary, was NEGATIVE! this is good for Ruby and my sister and it is good for me in that I am no more likely to get Uterine Cancer than anyone else.
2. the ONCOTYPE test, the genetic one that measures 21 genes to see the liklihood of reoccurance & whether one would benefit from chemotherapy also came back. They catagorize the findings into catagories. 18 and under is low reoccurance & low benefit of chemo. 18-31 is intermediate risk, and 31 and above is high risk of reoccurance, but benefit from Chemo. My score was 30!  Of course it was. If I was on the fence about doing Chemo, this would have pushed me over, but since I was already going commando on this cancer, it just justifies my aggressiveness.
3. the Lymph Nodes - Dr. Kort got 4 lymph nodes last week during surgery. She thought one didn't look good and pathology confirmed today that she was right, one was positive for invasive cancer, so again, if I was on fence about chemo, this would push me over, but all it does for us is confirm we were on the right track deciding to be aggressive.

So, next we have more meetings. I will have a follow up with Dr. Kort, the Surgeon,  & Dr. Lemke, the Oncologist, this Friday morning. I feel really good and I am moving around well from surgery last week.

Pic. # 1 - The port is  a bit weird and sticks out more than I would like, but I am sure I will get use to it.

Pic. # 2 - The Axillary incisions are clean and clear and bruising is coming through, so they look really gross, but are fine. She didn't put in a drain, which I have had in the past, and it seems there may be some fluid build up as I hear a "swooshing" noise when I shake my boobie, but she can just stick a needle in there and drain it out on Friday if it doesn't reabsorb on its own.

Thank you  to all my friends and family who brought me food, puzzles, and showered me with attention. I know my castle isn't done yet, but I felt like the Queen this past weekend. 

So, a few normal days  until we get the Chemo schedule and plan. Until then,
