Stage 1 - Yipee!

Doctor visit went well yesterday.  All as expected.  The tumor was slightly larger than first thought, but still considered Stage 1 since it was under 2 cm (1.8 cm - whew!).  The final biopsy still showed estrogen and progesterone negative as well as HER-2 positive, so chemotherapy will be a must.  Lori's port will be inserted in about 3 weeks, then the fun begins...
