My name is Theresa I'm a 33 year old mom of 3 and have 4 step children . During a regular shower I felt a lump in my right breast . I called my gyn went to see him and was reassured it was prob nothing . Within 3 hours I had a ultrasound and mammo . I was told I needed a breast biopsy and a good breast surgeon . This was tues jan 14,2014 by jan 17 ,2014 I had a pos diagnosis of dcis . Ugh really what did this mean . So it begins MRI drs boobs flying out lumpectomy mastectomy chemo rads !!! I love the term simple mastectomy !! After weighing all the options i decided with a bilateral mast. That was performed on feb 25,2014 . My fabulous dr with her dark pink scrub hat with the word bitch all over it in black was my sanity !!! Family next to me and the "bitch" in control I was ready !!! After a few hours I was awake to find out it was gone the cancer was gone !!! No chemo no rads !!! I now knew I would fight through and let cancer know it's got nothing on me ! Brca neg but hormone receptive my dr is ok hopefully w no tomoxafin !!! Start from here out !!! Positive thoughts healing and knowledge with my family next to me I know I can get through whatever life throws at us !!! Cancer sucks there's no In between !! These sites have helped my understanding in knowing I'm not alone !! My journey is mine alone but I hope to one day be able to help others with theirs !!
