Life is scary sometimes
I have been hesitating to share this but I think I need to.
On March 28th I found a lump in my breast.
On Monday I called and they had an opening that afternoon so I went in. Wednesday I got a phone call to come back for a high level mammo on my right side. Friday I went in for the high level and then an ultrasound. They measured two areas and the radiologist said he would have liked to biopsy that day but it was 4p and too late to get it to the lab on time so back on Monday of this week for the biopsy,. Tuesday I got the phone call that both areas are positive with cancer. I told my family and children and then jumped in my car to drive an hour and tell mom and Kay face to face. Mom started to cry and I was fearful and scared she could stroke again so I asked her to breath and not cry and to just talk to me. We talked until Midnight and then I drove home.
Wednesday a care coordinator called at 330 and said she leaves at 4 and if I didn't get the message right away she would call the next day.. Thursday I called her and she set up an MRI for next Wednesday and a meet and greet with a surgeon on Thursday. So here I sit for 4 days so far with a diagnosis of Invasive Ductile Carcinoma and I know nothing else and will not know anything until I meet with the surgeon on Thursday. We are so scared.
