March 19th, 2005 Breast Cancer Denial

I can’t believe that this is happening to me.  I actually have to make a choice whether I should have my boob cut off or expose myself to radiation for 6 weeks.  Worse yet, how is my family going to react?  My mother is not going to deal with this very well, at all.  I mean, I’m envisioning her screaming and crying and becoming hysterical, and then fainting.  That is if she doesn’t have a stroke first.  This is not good.  This is not happening.  This is not happening!!!

My husband has no opinion on what surgery I should take.  He said, since survival rates are the same, it was my own personal choice…and believe me, he knew the survival rates were the same, because he spent the whole weekend reading about the lumpectomy vs. mastectomy deal.
