Today i recieved the last piece of information  needed regarding  surgery. Would I have a lumpectomy or a mastectomy ? Finally, the one week wait for the results from genetic testing.all negative! Thank you. My worries are my son,my identical sister,her two girls and son. None of the cancers in our dad's family is genetic! ..that includes breast cancer. I will be having a lumpectomy followed by radiation and hormone therapy  and possible reconstruction. I will hold off on that. I'm 20 yrs I missed one year of mamograms. Was lucky I think invasive ductal carcinoma with moderately differentiated  cells. Lymph nodes will be biopsied  during surgery. I found out after I waited  for 3d results. Was called back in twice and then for an ultrasound. I still wasn't surprised as this same scenario occurred once before. But this time I was told that the radiologist wanted to see me. The "room" could be mistaken for some sort of art display .mamogram..mamogram.mamogram
 All mine on the screens. He points"this is a cancer here" them points to the other breast" note sure about these two areas". Will have a biopsy . The shoe finally fell  and hit me with breast cancer. Huh. I didn't cry..wasnt shocked.still haven't cried and that was on Nov 22 or 24th. I thought about my sister with glioblastoma  . What this was going to do to my mom,my identical twin and her 2 daughters and my 25 yr old that now may feel it is his duty to take care of me. My husband, not so much.i call him to tell him I have cancer. He thanks me for the call and continues to work-evem 2extra hours of overtime!. Doesn't ask nor has he ever how I am ..do I need anything..zero. but I move forward in my own strength and under the rain cloud I found Teresa  ( in a bc group). We clicked ,like running into someone you haven't seen for a while. Diagnosis  on the same day and same cancer.we get each other. I crack the stupid but funny to jokes about chemo ( I thought I might have to have it so cut my long hair to my ahoulders. If need chemo will have head shaved while playing "hair"from hair. Just think, no knotted in hair, don't have to wash,color or push out of my face on a windy day.!; so now the 2ait for surgery begins. I am not afraid nor have I been from the start..well more nervous about the biopsy itself which really was nothing. So we what. I have to go "talk " to Teresa for a few min
