At her mammogram about 2 months ago, the radiologist noticed a small dense area on Laura's films. After another mammogram, a needle biopsy and a surgical biopsy, we just got results back from the lab at the Mayo Clininc.
It is/was a benign tumor. A myofibroblastoma. Which is a rare type of tumor. Apparently, neither her doctor or the local lab had ever seen one, hence sending the sample to the Mayo Clinic.
It appears the the entire tumor was exised. No further treatment necessary!
I had no idea how much I was keeping this bottled up until we got the good news.
I just had to share it with all of you!
Relief!!!
To hell with the 0.04'+/-. Who cares about the RTK situation! Gentle folks, hug your partners and tell them how much they mean to you and how much you love them! THAT'S what really counts!
Sorry for being so unprofessional!
Back to our regularly scheduled discussions...
How do you spell relief....BENIGN!
I have been waiting a year (CT Scans, biopsy's, more CT Scans)to find out that the nodes in my lungs are now gone. It has been a very stressful year.

I am glad you got a good report!
Ian,
That is great news. I know what you mean about the stress. My wife had a tumor in her chest cavity, just above her heart back in 1997/1998. They found it during a routine chest xray, just before she had some female outpatient stuff done, after the birth of our youngest child. This was just a few months after us losing her mother to cancer.
It was such a relief to find out that the tumor was not cancerous. What is scary is that her mom died at 38. I am 38, and my wife is 37.
We all get caught up in everything else we are doing, and seem to take those closest to us for granted. Our true legacy is the impact that we have on our children, and our loved ones. Sure, a good professional reputation is great to have, but the lessons we teach our children, and the love we show to others lasts much longer.

I'm very happy for you - which is an understatement! I hate that word that begins with "C" - took my dad when I was 16. I wouldn't wish for what happened to my dad on anyone - even the most despicable person on the face of the earth.
Fantastic
I know, from personal experience, how difficult it can be on BOTH of you to have this type of thing hanging over your heads. Now have your wife enjoy life to the fullest knowing how short it can be. Take her on a cruise, a trip to the mountains, or wherever she prefers.
Andy
Great news! Very happy for you.
Fantastic, Joe!
Praise God!
Fantastic

Great news! It's too bad it takes things like this to make us realize what is really important in life...

Congratulations!
I just sent a "get well" card to my next door neighbor ... she got the other kind of news.
Glad, to hear it.
> Gentle folks, hug your partners and tell them how much they mean to you and how much you love them!
I would add "while you still can" to that sentiment. Trust me, you'll never look back and think you did it too often.
Very glad to hear your good news and Joe's as well.
