        Thank you so much.  She had wide excision done last week and is awaiting second pathology.  They told her the first biopsy indicated it was not deep at all and possibly got it all with the first biopsy but the second surgery will determine that.  Also said the biopsy revealed that it was very old (possibly 30+ years  ?!?!)  and that it did not appear that any lymph node biopsy will be needed. 

        Fingers crossed the good news continues.  Thanks again and prayers to all on this board.
