I need prayer AGAIN so I'm reaching out to family and friends!! I found out today that I most likely have breast cancer. I went to my OBGYN a week ago and she found two palpable lumps. Sent me for a mammogram and ultrasound. I had those procedures done today. The radiologist found not only those two lumps in the L breast but also another in the R breast and a suspicious lymph node in the L armpit area. The radiologist commented that it didn't look like fybrocystic breast condition because there was a lot of blood feeding the area (you may be more educated here than I am) but it "looked like" breast cancer due to the blood flow and the inclusion of the lymph node. They won't know for sure but of course I will need biopsies on the L, the R, and the lymph node to confirm. Biopsy will take place on Thursday if they can squeeze me in, or otherwise next Monday or Tuesday. Of course there is nothing I can do but follow doctor's orders and educate myself. I know that most breast cancers today can be cured and I am hopeful and grateful for that. At this point "I don't know what I don't know" so I am trying to educate myself on the types and stages and diagnoses and treatments. My parents are here in Texas so my mom will take me to the biopsy and any surgeries if needed. (Although I am guessing "yes" based on the radiologist's initial screening.) It's scary - mostly the unknowing part. It always seems selfish to ask, but Please pray. Thanks!! :)
