Hi.  I'm 6 weeks post op, I was lucky enough to have robotic surgery and recovery has been going well so far.   I met with my oncologist today to discuss post op results/margins.  She has said that it has come back positive (she said that over 1mm is clear and my one was 0.7mm) and that they found cancer in 3 of the 30 lymph nodes they took out.  They are giving me another 4 rounds of flot chemo starting soon. At the appointment she seemed quite positive saying that although it's not clear there was still some clear margin.  I don't know how to feel about it as I feel that it's not a great result but it also could've been worse.  Just feel a bit flat about it all as I know recurrence for this type of cancer is high, just wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation/how they feel.  Thanks.
