The oncologist was happy & told me to "breathe," but there was still some room for concern. As we knew, the tumor shrunk, but it didn't disappear with chemo (residual cancer). It was surgically removed & it only measured 7mm. She said 70% of Triple Neg patients have residual cancer...they do have drugs in trials and approved for tumors larger than mine. She told me it's really good news that my cancer is smaller, and they can't give me a drug because of that. The kind (triple negative) I have does have a higher recurrence rate than other breast cancer types, but it also has a high success rate. We are going with that!! She may add another scan for me because the other risk is that TNBC spreads quickly and goes to weird spots, which is way way better that my lymph nodes were clear.  I see her again in 8 weeks, which will be about the time I'm ending radiation. Scans will be later because, as she said, with chemo, radiation also makes things "swell".

 The radiation doctor was not there. I meet with him on May 20th and will hopefully get cleared then to start radiation at the end of May. Doing radiation adds a big % of it not recurring in the same spot.

 All in all, good news. Currently, I'm cancer-free!! I am allowed to do most activities - I have to wait to lift much until this fluid goes away.
