So I saw the surgeon on Tuesday, and it's definitely cancer. Crap. But, the good part about it - they caught it early. Thankfully the cancer cells haven't developed into a mass, so I only have to get a lumpectomy. Only. They will also do a lymph node biopsy, and I'm praying that there are no cancer cells there. If so, then it's a rougher course of treatment. But if not, then it should be easier. I'll need 6 weeks of radiation, every day, Monday - Friday. But I can do that, and I can beat it.
Of course, I need to have a breast MRI (which will cost me about $500), plus some blood work and a chest x-ray. Then I have to have two small procedures done before the surgery, which is hopefully scheduled for 2 weeks from today. But I'll have time to recover before everything starts up again.
So for a horrible thing, it's the best of it.

Keep your chin up, sounds like they caught it early which is always good. My mom is doing a walk for cancer research and patient support tomorrow, so I'll ask her to think of you! Take lots of pictures with out class to keep you mind off everything!
Hi! I am from your BPS Photo 101 class, and I have got to say you have such a postitive attitude! My Mom has had 2 lumpectomys. I will be thinking about you, and agree with stoneybrook about taking lots of pictures to keep this off your mind.
