My original comments are gone. I guess if you want privacy and don't complete all the information you are deleted. I have now gone through surgery and am awaiting pathology.

Waiting for pathology results can feel like one of the most challenging parts of the cancer journey, with many patients describing this time as filled with uncertainty and anticipation. During this period, it's completely normal to experience a range of emotions, and connecting with others in this community who understand what you're going through can provide valuable support and perspective.

Hi Colleen. I'm sorry your original comments were deleted. I see this was posted a few days ago. I hope your pathology results showed no spread to lymph nodes. Have the doctors said what your next steps are? You're not alone.
