Bad News

This is hard news to share and I've shared a lot of things that have been very difficult on this blog.  I was recently diagnosed with grade 1/grade 2 breast cancer.  I don't have all the info back from the pathology yet.  

I went in September 8th for my annual mammogram and they found an area of concern.  I went back in on Sept 14th for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound.  It's never good when the radiologist comes in to talk to you afterwards.  He said the area was very suspicious and rated it a BIRADS 5 or a 95% chance or greater of malignancy.

On September 20th, I went in for a biopsy and it was unpleasant.  Some of the results came back yesterday and confirmed that it is breast cancer. The next steps are an MRI and an appt with a surgeon, but I don't know when they will be 

Please keep me and my family in your prayers. And get your mammograms. Thank you.
