Day 2

Hum, can't quite get my head wrapped around this.....So many feelings.  It's real, I have Breast Cancer but you know what? We caught it early.  I wanted to tell my parents but I wanted to spare them until I could find out for sure what I was dealing with, now its real. Today, I want to give a timeline of what happened..
  • September 20th - Mammogram - A mass was detected. Referred to my Doctor or immediate followup.
  • September 24th - Happy Birthday to ME....53
  • September 27th - Vacation was cancelled and appointment was schedule with Dr. Evans, a General Surgeon. Suggested that I have a biopsy as soon as possible at Centerpoint Medical hospital.
  • October 1st - Breast Cancer Awareness Month
  • October 1st -  Biopsy completed, 2nd mass was detected from Ultra Sound. Had a great doctor, Dr. Trann at Centerpoint Hospital.
  • October 3rd- Got the news today and confirmed, I have Breast Cancer.  Ok now what?  I am so lucky to have my husband, Tim. He is truly my Rock.
A MRI is scheduled with an Oncologist at Centerpoint.  I will  know from here what needs to be done, what stage I am at and what type of treatment I will need to rid the cancer. 

To all of my family and friends,  I suggest the following to help you understand what I will be going through, what is cancer and what you can do for me, family and for yourself.  I am lucky to have everyone of you for keeping me in your thoughts and praryers.
