The news from there was all good. The tumor ended up being 1.5 cm and lobular (originating in the lobe, not the milk duct). 80% of breast cancer is ductal—I always did like to be different! The surgeon was able to completely remove the tumor, lymph nodes were clear, and the tumor’s hormone test was positive. I had just been given the best Christmas present I could ask for. It was time to recover, and do the painful exercises necessary to regain full motion of my arm. Another teachable moment for my children: do what is necessary, even if it hurts. Plus, it might just be fun to watch mommy sweat!
