		<description><![CDATA[Just got back from the endocrinologist. Mellie is officially benign! We are relieved, joyful, stunned, a little confused. The original biopsy was highly suspicious for cancer, but the final pathology report came back completely clear. It is much more likely that surgery confirms a suspicious biopsy, or the biopsy is negative but surgery reveals cancer. [...]]]></description>

Doc said all went well, Mellie was a champ. Initial tests look cancer-free! Thank God and thanks for your prayers.
