This blog will take you with me on my journey. Goodness knows I don't want to do this alone!
On June 27th, 2011 I went to my M.D.'s for an annual check up. She noticed a lump and thinking it was nothing still thought I should have an Ultra Sound. My Ultra Sound was done on July 5th and I was referred to a General Surgeon to have it checked. Still, everyone thought "it was nothing". On August 15th I had a surgical biopsy. Again, the surgeon was sure it was nothing. Just some angry something that needed to come out. On August 18th I was called to come in to the office and was given the diagnosis. I have Breast Cancer. How does that happen when you are only 30 years old, with two young sons, and in a fairly new relationship? How does it happen? Apparently it just does.
I want this blog to keep everyone updated without going in to all of the "details". Surely no one wants to know what kind of foobs (fake boobs) I'm going to have when this is all over!
This Friday I meet with the oncologist for the first time. I suppose I will leave knowing what I am doing first, chemo or surgery. From there...who knows. I'll keep you all posted.
P.S. I love comments!!!

ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you as you take this journey. Keep good thoughts in mind. Keep the fighter attitude. Don't lose faith. It can be beaten even if the odds don't seem fair.
