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.

There was a reason you won your first battle with cancer, and I know you will again. You are in my thoughts. I wish you well with the surgery.

You must have been so disappointed when you heard the news. I can't believe that you have to go through this again after already having ovarian cancer. I am so sorry that you have to go through this. Please let us know how we can help you and give support. How much can one person take? You must be a very strong woman to have beat it the first time and have to beat it again. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry - I wish you the very best with everything. You got through it once and can do it again....

You know - I was just about to post how upset and sad I was because I'm moving and have to probably put my dog down because no one can take him. (He's a pitbull) but now it seems like my problems aren't that big. I guess things could be worse.

Be strong - we are here for you (atleast to listen and give you support)

i can't express how sorry i am to hear this news. but i am glad that you went for the biopsy, and will now be able to have a lumpectomy without chemo.

just know that we will always be here to offer love and support!!!! we will be rooting for you

on a medical note - through your post you've given me important clues as to where this is coming from. there is in some cases a very strong connection between breast and ovarian cancer - it occurs when you have mutation in a gene called BRCA2. if you'd like more information, feel free to FM.
