I didn't think that I would do a BLOG after finding out my diagnosis, but it seems that if I don't, my phone will ring off the wall, and my cell phone bill will "go out the roof". I more than appreciate all the phone calls, cards and hugs I have gotten in this past week. Last Thursday (1/15) I got the phone call that you never expect will be for you. "Yes it is cancer, and we need to refer you to a surgeon". The cancer I have is DCIS. (Ductal carcinoma in situ). I went for my annual mammogram and there it was. There is no lump or tumor, that I can feel........

so.... ladies GET YOUR MAMMOGRAMS. I will have an MRI on Tuesday the 27th, and see the surgeon on Friday morning. (1/30). It there are no other findings it will be my choice for treatment options. ** lumpectomy followed by radiation and oral meds, or mastectomy and oral meds. He told me that the survival is equal for either choice. I had planned to wear my " SAVE THE TA TAS" T-shirt to the doctor, but it had a stain on the front. This journey is new for me, and it still hasn't exactly sunk in, so I don't really know how I feel about it, how I will handle all this, and what I will decide. Please pray for me to make the right decisions and for my strength. I've never tried this Blog Stuff before, so my site may be confusing.
