The biopsy report is back that I had last week on my right breast.  I have had fibrosystic for as long as I can remember.  I wasn't even concerned about it because they have always been there.  There have always been a couple of lumps that they "wanted to keep and eye on".  Apparently they didn't keep a close enough watch, I guess.  I have a mam done every 6 months on them and still it wasn't enough.  I wanted to have them removed a long time ago and be done with it but the doctors didn't want to do that for whatever reason.  So now I am at Stage IIA.  My list of things wrong just keeps getting longer it seems, and worse.  I am not in a very good mood and pain pills are not even touching the flare that I have going on right now.

I am so sorry to hear that you have breast cancer. You have alot on your plate so it is so important to take time just for you each day. If you can try to take it one day at a time and think positive...it will help you get through the tough times.

Sending you gentle hugs, good vibes and will say a prayer for you.

Hugs, Robin

I am sooo saddened to read your news and can't imagine the various emotions that you are going through. I hope that you will be able to get physical support as you go thru treatment (extra care for your meals, your home, transportation, etc). I'm sure that family and friends will want to help out where possible, but do also remember to take the time necessary to rest and deal with FMS.

You are in my thoughts and I hope that you are able to get details on the next steps that need to be taken.

Shawna,

I'm so sorry you had to have this piled onto everything else you're already dealing with. Whew!
Remember we're here for you, if you need to vent (and I sure would)

I'm so sorry to hears about this.  Many prayers are heading your way.  It's good that it was found so it can be taken care of now so, as Robin said, take one day at a time.  The doctors should be able to take care of this.  They did for my aunt.

I hope that this is an early stage so that you can catch it early. Luckily it looks like you did. Hopefully all you will have to have is a lumpectomy.

Keep us posted. I am so sorry to hear this. My grandmother had breast cancer at one time. I think she was in her 60's or 70's. She lived well into her 90's. So there is hope. We will all keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Know that we all care about you.

Hugs, Karen

Oh my, I am so sorry, and it's completely understandable that you are angry about this. I wish there was something more I can do to help, but just know that we are all thinking about you here and I'll be praying for you.

I am so sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, and relieved to hear it is Stage IIa rather than a later stage. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Sending strength vibes out across the internet.

Thanks guys! It was nice to smile and feel good today. Hey, this is just another step along the way. It may make it a little harder, but I can do it. I calmed down enough to do meditation and stretches this morning and have been getting things in order. It takes me so long to do anything anymore! Makes me so angry.

Anyhow, I am T2 N1 MO. That means that the tumor is more than 2cm, 1 lymph node is involved, and there is NO metastasis. I am very grateful for that one! I am to have surgical resection, radiation therapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy. (I had to go look up what the heck adjuvant meant).

I keep thinking, wow what a dream I had. Then it hits me that it's real and you just gotta pull up the big girl panties and go on with what has to be done. I go in tomorrow to start paper work and bloodwork. Fun. Not sure when my surgery will be, or if they will do chemo first. I am sure I was told that but I can not remember. Imagine that. I am very worried about being knocked out though. My lungs are so bad and laying flat will make that awful and my back will be angry for days afterward.

I really am not suprised at all of this, when I think about it. I knew my chances were getting pretty slim. My father, grandfather, grandmother, niece, uncle, 2 aunts, sister and mother all have had cancer. All have survived, so I will just join their winning ranks. And the upside is that I have wanted a boob reduction and lift since I was about 28, so I guess now I will get to have it when this is all said and done!

Kepp up the fight!!

Toomuchtotake,

You have a very good attitude about this and it will take you a long way. Again, I am so sorry to hear this but being it hasn't mastisized (sp) that is a good thing. Keep up the good fight. And remember we are all always here for you.

Take care my friend...

Hugs, Karen

I agree with Karen...your attitude will take you a long way and so will your good sense of humor. We are here for you. Keep us posted, we care!!!

Hugs, Robin
