PrincessMommy Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 On 10/1/2018 at 4:13 PM, Quill said: Crappy news ahead. I put up a post a bit over a month ago about cysts in the breast because I had a hard spot on Lefty. Well, the hard spot didn’t go away and, if anything, was getting more “organized” in the way it felt. So - in for mammo, which was due anyway. Also a breast ultrasound of Lefty. Then that sucky moment when the radiology doctor comes in to discuss images - never a good sign. He said, “I feel very certain this is not a cyst.” So I scheduled a needle biopsy, which I had last Thursday. Then the anxious weekend, waiting for a report. Call came today, on my 24th wedding anniversary and the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. (I have impecable timing.) I have Breast Cancer, friends. I will know more after my meeting Wednesday. Thanks for your prayers and healing thoughts. I am prepared to do battle. UPDATE: surgery on the calendar Oct 30. I updated at the end of the thread, too, but we don’t have post numbers anymore. UPDATE: Lymph nodes biposy: no cancer in nodes! Also, clear margins from tumor excision! Woooooohoooo! Yay!!! Doing the happy dance with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not on the schedule yet, but will be soon. My course of radiation may be three weeks (15 days total), or it could be longer. Part of my treatment is also long-term hormone suppressors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
