Looks like breast cancer.

There's a chance it isn't, but they're about 99% sure.

I can't think or speak or write coherently. I'm staring at the MacMillan package they've given me, and there is nothing in my head.

Do sorry you are going through this. I had to deal with breast cancer 6 years ago. Lumpectomy and radiation. Not fun. I wish you strength and hope.

Thank you for your caring wish. Just reading your words gives me hope.

I'm so sorry. Keep your head up. You know more than you think you do right now.

Thank you for that advice and those hugs. Both are appreciated with love XXX

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I know it's get-through-able but it's such a pain to get through.

Thank you for your care. As you say, it's get-through-able (I hope! Looks like it right now, no indication of lymph node issues!) but yes, a real pain.

I'm sorry to hear it--that's very rough.

I hope it turns out to be an early stage and relatively easy to deal with. I have several friends who've had breast cancer, one who had a later-stage case. I'm happy to report that years after treatment, they're all doing extremely well--as well as if they'd never had cancer.

But I get the shock and brain freeze right now. Definitely not what anyone wants :-\

Thanks for your kind hopes. At the moment they are optimistic, we will know more in a few days. It's lovely and reassuring to read about your friends!
