So. I have breast cancer.

from JoeUser Forums

Found out today.

Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (HERS 2 overexpression ER+/PR+).  Big ass word for holy-crap-I’m-41-and-have-two-kids-to-raise!

They say it is the “aggressive” type.

They say Monday is my first operation.

They say I have radiation and chemotherapy in my future.

They say I have cancer.

But you know what?

I say cancer has me.

If you have six weeks, then make use of the time by getting a second opinion on diagnosis and treatment options. It matters where you go...

Thanks Anthony.  I did get a second opinion.  I'm seeing a military cancer team in a military hospital.  Let's just say my experience with military health care has been systematically poor over the last two decades.  That's just MY experience, I certainly can't speak to anyone else's.

So I went to a civilian downtown for a second opinion.  He said the exact same things.  Biopsy, lumpectomy or mastectomy, radiation if in lymphs after mastectomy, chemo, herceptin and hormone suppression.

It's almost scary how consistent the information is...not only what I'm getting in person, but what I'm finding on line as well.

It can sometimes confuse things, but no one ever died of too much information.

True.  But I imagine some have died waiting for it o_O

Tonya, this is Sabrina--

I snuck in here to tell everyone that Elie (Moderateman) died yesterday, and now I see this.  I am crying too hard to type.  Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, and you can call me at (richmond area code) 658-0977.  It's been a while.

Any crank callers who think they're gonna bug me know this:  I use VoiP and it logs every source of every call, even if you block your number.  Don't mess with me, I am in mourning.

Good luck with the new future LW!!  I'm so happy for you both.
