Journal entry by Glena Fulmer McConnell —
I had my birthday off so I figured I'd squeeze in my mammogram first thing in the morning. I've had cysts before so I figured the new lump I was feeling was just another one. No big deal. Get it checked like a good patient and enjoy the rest of my birthday.
Well it wasn't just a cyst and I needed a 2 biopsies. And we need them now. They had me come in the next day.
5 days after my 35th birthday, Monday, May 21 2018 I received the results for a breast biopsy I had the Friday prior. I was told 5 word that change life forever "Your biopsies came back positive." Life has been tornado since. Test. Doctors. Waiting for results. And today I started chemo. Today WE start the fight! First chemo surgery and then radiation.
