... it was a very small tumor (9mm) and it was taken clean enough that the follow up will be one week of radiation in July.
I don't know if cancer will be eliminated or not, but there seems to be a lot better outcomes than there used to be.

The fight regrets coming at us.

(60,551 posts)My wife has had cancer twice, and the second time was a rare form that is always fatal. Here, oncologists call it the murderer. She was that one in ten thousand that actually survived it (now ten years ago).
A cheer to our durable spouses!

I hope you are well too. It's hard to be the partner, just watching and waiting, unable to affect the outcome.

(17,839 posts)It is indeed good news that it was small and clean and as said earlier on this thread, she will breeze through the one week of radiation.
I lost a parent to cancer at a very early age, so I was schooled young about the impact. I have been quite happy and very grateful over the years to see advances in treatment and survival rates. It is indeed so important to catch it as early as possible.
My wish for the two of you is that you can take the next couple of weeks before the radiation and concentrate on yourselves and what makes you happy. Take some time and relish the fact that this is fixable, and remember that life is to be enjoyed!
All the very best.
