Breast Cancer Denial

Thank you for visiting; although this blog has taken me far longer to write than I had ever anticipated. If you look at the dates, you'll know that I am very behind. I apologize in advance for that.

This is the story of my fight with Stage IV breast cancer. When I was 29 years old, the cancerous tumor in my breast was misdiagnosed as a cyst. My hope is that this blog will help other women to learn to ask for a mammogram or even a biopsy if they feel something suspicious in their breast, regardless of their age. You must be your own advocate!

If you would like to contact me, you are welcome to do so. I try to respond to every email. Please use my contact page here.

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.
