Surgical success! I heard from my surgeon, and the tissue removed in the 2nd surgery was negative for cancer, so we've achieved the clean margins we were looking for.
Next step, resume chemo, with a new drug mix: adriamycin and cytoxan (the standard breast cancer treatment) paired with Avastin (trial drug), starting July 16. The date was pushed out by 2 days because we couldn't start chemo until at least 3 weeks after surgery to allow for healing.

Martha,
I am so glad to hear this!! Our thoughts are with you.
I'd imagine the chemo will wipe you out so I would love to make a dinner for your family. I will be traveling on the 16th and 17th, but the 18th would work great. I'll email you to plan!
Hooray!
Hey Martha - great news that Chucky is history. We're thinking of you for the next chemo round. Hooray for oncology nurses indeed.
