Good News

At the end of the day yesterday, my Doctor called with the pathology results.  There was a residual tumor of about 5 cm, but the smallest margin between tumor and the edge of the excised tissue was 2 cm.  This was exactly what we were hoping for.  The angiosarcoma is still lowgrade.  There is controversy over whether grade means anything with angiosarcoma, so we will see how I do.  According to the Dana Farber folks, this mean no chemo,  just watch and wait.  We are still uncertain as to whether we will look for another opinion.
