Well ladies, the news I was hoping I wouldn't be getting came in just now.

I had my biopsy secretly last week (didn't want to tell anyone I was having it until I had the results). My left breast biopsy came back positive for cancerous cells.

*sigh*

So that means at age 29, I will now be fighting a second battle against cancer (before is was ovarian). But it seems extremely early and the doctor thinks surgery will remove it and I shouldn't have to go through chemo. (I refuse to do it.) So, that is good. I do not know when I will have the surgery. Probably mid December.

I am torn about how to feel. I am more concerned about my issues with FH right now, so maybe it's good that I concentrate on that.

EDIT: I am not going to make a big deal about it. I am not scared, most likely because I have been here before and I know the drill. I just wanted to tell someone. I don't want to be known as the cancer girl or anything.

However, I do wish I knew where this was coming from. No one in my family, for the past 4 generations, has ever had cancer. My original docter states that I could be prone to cancer because my mother smoked while she was pregnant with me. I wish I could find a way to prevent it.

I am so sorry. Sending you thoughts of health, hope, and strength

I think I can speak for the group and say that we are all here for you if you need anything!


Ill be praying for you!

I am so sorry. You'll be in my thoughts

You'll be in my prayers, if there is anything I can do please don't hesitate, sometimes venting to someone you don't know helps.

Good Luck and Be Well!

I'm so sorry that you're going through this. My mom went through a similar situation. It sounds like you're handling it really well. My prayers are with you.

I'm sorry you have to go through this

If there is anything we can do to help please just say the word. My grandmother had breast cancer and that puts us at risk - but without knowing if my mom would have had it that makes me more nervous. I'm pulling for you!

I am so sorry to hear this. You will be in my prayers.

Big from your support group. Whatever you need - even if it is someone's hand to hold - just FM!

Will be thinking about you in my prayers.. I'm positive that everything will work out just fine!!
