At the beginning

I've just been diagnosed. Having lumpectomy surgery on Monday. They think it's stage 1 and should be able to get it all, but will know more after the operation. The doctor will also check my lymph nodes. I'm nervous about the surgery, but not the cancer. I had a biopsy last week and I sooooooo hate needles in my breast, but don't have any choice so might as well relax. Right? Right.

I lost my mom to this !@#@#$ disease, but am determined to survive and spread the word.

Hang in there all.
