I held up pretty good in the Dr's office . When I seen Kevin it all sunk in "its cancer" and emotions were high. The hardest phone call was to my 25 year old daughter Alicia , Throughout all this she was one of the few people who knew about what was going on.. the test and waiting for the results it was not easy for her to hear mom has cancer . More phone calls to make to family and some friends , informing work of the situation that I would have to take a medical leave , this is all so overwelming and still sooo hard to believe it was all happening to me .
I wait a week to see my surgeon , He seems to be very nice and informative . At the breast health center a team of health care professionals were there to inform me and support me in all areas. Cheryl my (bff) was there by my side she sat through the discussion with my surgeon ...We had discussed my options between full removal of my left breast or partial ....I must say the decision for me was a no brainer conseve the boob .
I have done some research on the pros and cons and its my feeling that removing all my breast parts on my left side does not guantee the cancer not returning . I do realize that there is a chance of reoccurence no matter what surgury I choose I will cross that bridge if it comes along.
We leave and I am in tow with a black book bag they gave me full of pamplets, information on my upcoming surgery , ect... I will be getting a call today when it will take place it will be apox 2 weeks.
