Donna,
i am so sorry with all on your plate that now you get a helping of a scary health issue.
Blue is our go to person on the big C cells spending so much time looking and researching them. If your going to receive a diagnosis this is the type of diag, you would rather hear.

Some controversy mis-state It is not a cancer. From what I knew from a family member it can be addressed if you must face it and not a challenge that is bleak.

Blue, you would know if they look for estrogen/progestrone receptors to see which treatment it will be?

I am glad Blue has the knowledge to inform and reassure you as you travel this journey. My hugs and prayers are with you dear friend.

So very sorry for the DX you recieved. This type of cancer has come a long long way. They are able to target better than ever before. Don't loose hope. We are all with you in spirit. I care about you, and will be here anytime to listen. My thoughts and prayers are with you. xxxginnie

Thanks Di Marie and Ginnie.

I haven't lost hope, and don't plan too. I watched my sister 10 + years
ago beat cancer. When they gave her very little hope. So I know this
is a much better diagnosis, just knowing that it can be operated on.

In my opinion.

We will celebrate every year just as we do for my sister. I plan on meeting
my new nephew/niece when they come in 5 or so months.

Donna

Dear DonnaIt is so good to hear you looking forward to these positive events. You have a great outlook and that's half the battle.

Whew, finally got both my older son's told.

That is a weight of my shoulders.

Donna

So glad to hear this may not be the real serious kind. I am proud of you for facing this so courageously. A good attitude does go a long way. I know you are a strong spirited lady. You will do just fine. My sister in law had cancer in all her lymph nodes and they surgically removed them all. She just celebrated 5 years of being cancer free this year. You are going to come through this just fine. We all love you. We are all praying for you. Stay positive.
Love,
Brain

Donna,


Request a volunteer from a local agency to travel and be with you for the office visits. You need someone in the office with you when the doctors talks.
You will be assigned a surgeon and you need a volunteer to be in those appointments with you as well.

Being informed is a big part of a good outcome.

I send you hugs and good wishes and lots of good thoughts.

Mari

Donna,

That is right.
You are doing great and I am impressed.

Oh Donna, I am just catching up with this thread tonight.
Wow.....I agree with the others that I think you are being very brave, and have a positive outlook on this. Please take it a day at a time and keep us posted.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

sending positive thoughts your way.
How did your husband respond?

Well my husband has a lot on his plate right now. I personally think
he is handling everything pretty well. He is dealing with his mom who
is I believe going to be 98 in June's second hip break and surgery.

He spent the night with her last night, and I guess she had blood given
to her. And he wasn't to happy I don't think about that. But knows
there isn't a thing that could be done.

But she is fiesty and kept telling them no pain meds, luckily they gave
it anyway. And just didn't tell her.

He decided this morning to tell me. That it didn't matter if I had breast
or not. He wasn't leaving me. I told him that (heehee) it was him not
me that the breast really mattered too. So if they were gone I didn't
care.

Which as of right now, is honestly the truth. I don't care about them.
THey are a pain in the butt for me. And I personally am considering a double
because the other side, is being watched all the time. Not sure what the surgeon would say to that though.

So probably just the one. But dont want to return to have the other one.

Anyway. Thats how I see it. I think life is okay.

Donna
