Sending you love and light- and praying for tenacity and hope to live in your heart!

I’m sorry to hear of this battle you have to face, but please know you’re not alone.  Even on the dark moments that come, you’ve got a gaggle of friends here who are rooting for you and ready to overwhelm you with cheering at a moments notice.

Honestly? Me too. I knew in my heart this would not be “nothing,” but I also feel like: Suit up, ladies. It’s showtime.

 

Quill, I hope you will hear that it's early stages, clear margins and all that! There is such a tremendous amount of wisdom and information on this board. Use it. We are here when you need us.

Cancer sucks.  Period.  You have tons of hugs and prayers coming from here.

With this one at least there can be a light at the end of the tunnel after the awful road to get there, so I'd keep looking at that light and planning something wonderful for that time so your brain can have something to look forward to.

Wishing you didn't have to go through it all though.  Just because there can be a light doesn't negate the pure fact that cancer sucks.

Take care Quill.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, but like a few others said, I have a feeling you are going to kick cancer's butt no problem. I just have zero worry, which is crazy, but there you have it. You are a warrior, and you will win.

I asked my dd to draw me a BC Warrior Woman/Superhero. I can’t wait to see what she designs for me.

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. 

 

Damn it. That sucks.

I’m praying for as best an outcome as possible and that you have lots of loving support to carry you through the hard days to come.

So sorry to hear this.

But, silver lining, you will meet many wonderful people on your new journey. Some are doctors and nurses and specialists. Some are fellow patients. And you will BE that wonderful person to many people you meet on your journey. You will face this with your characteristic humor, bad-ass attitude, and humanity. It's ok to be weak and weepy and sad; it's also ok to be confident and strong and proactive...all in the same day.

Welcome to the club no one asked to join. You can do this.
