My biological mother has or had breast cancer we dont speak so not sure the status these days. I was told to get tested to see if I carry the gene I did that way back when..... Almost a year ago I had a dr say she thought she could feel a small lump in my breast during the routine pre procedure examine I have because of my heart based on my family history and my health history there was a biopsy done during the other procedure I was having. At the time I chose to ignore it and pretend it was not real I tried to convince myself it would just go away if I didnt talk about it and refused to listen to the dr after she said the words its malignant and suggested the type it possibly was based on the information she had. After a bunch of lectures not long ago after keeping it a secret for so long and ignoring it. I had made an oncology appt that was earlier this week. I got the call that my results were ready and needed to be discussed... to come in immediately. It was confirmed through the bx results and further testing that I officially have been diagnosed with stage 1 ductal carcinoma in situ. Based on my health and family history the dr has suggested that I do radiation followed by a lumpectomy followed by more radiation and possibly a medication that is used as an extra precaution. They would like to do something called axillary lymph node testing to make sure its not in my lyphnodes as a precaution they do not think it is but want to make sure I said NO. And since I do not take care of my heart the way I am supposed to I have to go see the cardiologist as the next step to get cleared medically for the plan of treatment needed. I do not know how I feel about all of this as I had planned to just ignore it. I do NOT want to do radiation or chemo and a mastectomy was out of the question they advised a masectomy based on my biological mother having breast cancer as well. And soooooo im pretty much just tryin to decide what my next move will be. I do not want everyone to get all sappy either or go all jesus on me I just have so many messages and dont really know how to talk about all of this so explaining it this once is all I have the energy to do. I dont want your opinion either its my decision my body and my choice thats all im gonna say. I may even be leaving some out its all jumbled up and foggy right now and was alot of information thrown at me ontop of everything else going wrong in my life but none the less I think this is the gist of it. I just want to live my life happily stress free and fill it with lots of laughter just being my random silly crazy fun self again making my friends smile and laugh thats what I love and all I want really. Night yall
