Well I got some bad news, I have breast cancer (it was small 1.6 cm.)...I had a biopsy two weeks ago...got the news, now I have to have a lumpectomy on 7/7....then radiation for 5-7 weeks, Mon. thru Friday....they will also check my lymph nodes when I have surgery....I am praying it didn't go there...then I would have to have chemo and radiation....so we shall see then...it's been pretty scary for me...but I am keeping up my spirits...my sense of humor helps most times but the other times I am crying my head off....
Please do me a favor.......please share this with the group for a few reasons...I found this lump myself thru self exam.....I went to the dr.....had a mammogram and an ultrasound, they both showed NOTHING, nothing at all....I went back to my dr., she sent me to a breast surgeon and here I am.....So it's so important to do self breast exams as I have personally found out....tell everyone please, I am telling all my friends and family here, NO test is 100% and I know this now....
Thank you so much for thinking of me and writing. The past few months have been eye opening for me with this, it's like hurry up and wait....have a test, wait for results, have another, wait some more, now I have to wait again......so we shall see. I hope and pray it was only in my breast and didn't go to the lymph nodes!!
Thanks again, Please take care and say hello to all the Divas for me......
Lucy
