Pathology Report = T2 - N0 - M0 !!

This means Jen's pathology report is Very Clean.

"T" is the depth of the tumor, "N" refers to nodes involved (zero), and "M" is about metastases--or the spread of the cancer (also zero!). As the doctor said, it is an "amazingly clean" path report. Her cancer, then, will be downgraded from the Stage II that her surgeon had originally diagnosed it as, to Stage I. Jenny will need no chemotherapy or radiation.

Now, it's just about getting her home, healing from the surgery, and living life as both science and instinct tell us all to live it: by eating wisely, exercising significantly, relaxing intentionally and practicing mindfulness conscientiously.

In the meantime, Jen remains uncomfortable from having major surgery. At first, she wanted  to be the one to write this most-important and celebratory blog post, but, although she's very relieved, at the moment she is feeling pretty crappy physically and is well on her way to a nap.

Nevertheless, we are anticipating that she'll be released some time tomorrow.

As ever---more than ever---thank you all, so very much.
