Well, the results are in, drum roll please. I have cancer. Now wait, didn't I already know that? Yes, but now it has been confirmed by my local Dr's and also by Mayo Clinic - which means I finally got my second round of results back. Not only was the cancer on the left side confirmed, Dr's also found three spots on the right side - which is where the largest tumor was located. I really dont feel any different with this information - had they come back and told me they were wrong and it wasnt cancer, then I would have experienced emotion. I am meeting with an endocrinologist on Monday to talk about the next step - I am glad to be finishing everything before my vacations (which we will working around, they have already been informed!). So, check back for updates after that.
I have been very blessed with a fast and easy recovery. My scar is healing very well (in fact, it is almost embaressing how small it is - I was hoping for a little more in the beginning) and feel 100%. I am taking temporary medication with is making my skin dry and my hair brittle and I go from hot to cold a lot, but this is all very minor.
Thanks again to all of you who have been so supportive with everything! It's amazing how giving people can be when there is need, from my family, the relay team, my friends, and the people at work! You have all been an awesome support.
