Here is how it all began:
November 8th I had my annual OB/Gyne appointment at which I complained of a strange feeling in my armpit and then the doctor found a small lump on the same side on the breast. She sent me with an order for a diagnostic mamogram (first one I ever had).
November 16th I had my diagnostic mamogram which should have taken 2 hours but after 4 hours we were being helped to find an appointment for a biopsy the next morning because the ultrasound had shown something that looked like cancer. Shock came over both of us!! I could not stop crying and wondering if this was the end. It was one of the worst nights of my life!
November 17th I had three biospies and a 2nd radiologist who explained that it was a very suspicious looking lump and a lymph node that was very large.
November 18th we met with the surgeon who gave us the diagnosis of Stage 2 Breast Cancer. I guess I was ready but it still made me cry when I heard those words. The surgeon is wonderful and we are very comfortable with all the options he has given us. I still had to meet with the oncologist to know exactly how we are moving forward.
November 19th we met with the Oncologist who was an upbeat doctor who used the most beautiful word so far...CURE! She wants to learn more from some tests but she is feeling good about all we know so far.
November 22nd I had to go in for blood work and meetings.
November 23rd- I called it my day off! I left my phone in my purse on silent and I went with the girls and my mom to the Marriot to see the kids musical of the Wizard of OZ. It was the most normal thing I had done in the past week!
November 24th I had a Breast MRI done at LF. It was a must do but it was not comfortable and I bearily made it through the half hour of laying in the machine on my stomach!
.... It is November 28th and we are still waiting on results to know any more. TO BE CONTINUED...
