It was a dark and stormy night . . . .

Well, actually, it was a February day that I went to see my primary care doctor about a "lump" I found in my left breast. I thought it was another cyst, as I had one in my right breast about a year ago. Dr. Salvador sent me immediately to the hospital for a sonogram. A few hours following the sonogram, she called me to schedule a mamogram and a probable biospy. It wasn't a cyst.
Tuesday, February 26th I had a biospy in the surgeon's office. The pathologist report was DCIS - ductal carcinoma in situ and the surgeon suggested I see an oncologist.
I saw the oncologist the next Monday. Dr. River tells me that I'll need surgeon and most likely radiation therapy. I had already done my homework, looking on the internet and in my textbooks. He was optimistic, yet realistic. My optimism kicked in and I was confident that a lumpectomy was all that would be required.
My surgery was March10. The surgeon says it's "more" than originally thought. My next appointment is Thursday and I will know more then.
Keep me in your prayers.
