RhondaM. Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well...it isn't good news. It is breast cancer. DCIS. MRI on Friday. Then surgery. I'll most likely have to have a masectomy due to where it is and the size of it. Also maybe a lumpectomy on the other side because they found stuff over there too...we will know more about that after the MRI. Hopefully it has not spread. Now...I just got to figure out if we need to pack up and go home to Houston to get this done...or if I can get this all taken care of in California over the next 6 weeks. I'd really rather get this done here. And I'm supposed to get school done too. :svengo: Dang it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah CB Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Rhonda, I'm so very sorry. I hope the doctors are able to get everything cleared up quickly for you. You and your family will be in my prayers. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percytruffle Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm so sorry. Good thoughts and prayers for you for the road ahead. I think this is one of those instances where life is school. I wouldn't worry in the least about how much school work is completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I will be continuing to pray for you. I agree that school needs to take a backseat while the teacher's health is taken care of. But sometimes a little distraction in the shape of some school can help. Do what you can and want to but don't try to "keep up" right now.

readwithem Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm so sorry. As good a reputation as MDAnderson has, I've also heard they don't like to be questioned, sort of like they're God. :glare: If you can get treatment there that you're happy with, I would go with that and get it over with, rather than having to face it on your return - you have enough other issues back home :( :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheBrink Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear this! There are a lot of things you can do to help with your treatment. Larry Burket wrote a very good book about dealing with cancer and I found it to be very helpful when I was going through Melanoma. I found a lot of info online about immune boosting and if you're interested, I can find it again and PM it to you. :grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlockOfSillies Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Rhonda, I'll be praying for you. I just saw a DCIS website that says the survival rate is almost 100%. Still, I think you should get this taken care of ASAP, for both physical and mental reasons. There are lots of good hospitals out here. Take care.

emeraldjoy Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Rhonda, You and your family are lifted up right now in my prayers. I just want to encourage you about your obligations to "school". These are precisely some of the reason we all chose to do what we do, right? So we have the time, the energy, and the know-how to come together as solid family units in love and comfort through all that life has to offer. THAT is the most important thing; all the rest can wait. Just snuzzle your kids as much as you can; let them snuzzle you; read good books together, watch good movies together and see it as an opportunity to just enjoy vegging, guilt free. blessings to you on this long journey.
