Hi everyone
I need another biopsy/MRI next Wednesday-they need to "dissect" another small spot-.5 ... If cancerous I need a mastectomy (1 side or if I want both) if just scar tissue I can have lumpectomy or if I want I can do mastectomy. Surgery is scheduled for September 29th. I went to obgyn and my ovaries etc is clear of cysts and tumors. Yeah!

I am upbeat during the day at work ( my coworkers know) . At night and quiet times I am struggling. Not a lot of sleep. Now that surgery is scheduled I am getting scared.

Thanks for all support and for comments it means sooooo much to me.

@Snowflake it's perfectly normal to be scared. I remember when I had the 3 different surgeries for my lumps. I was a basket case. The difference between mine and yours... Yrs, of new technology, advances in medication, better knowledge of medicine, and better cure rates. No, mine weren't cancer, but I didn't even know till after the surgery and biopsy results a couple of days later.

You will be ok, this is scary and anxiety provoking as hell, but you will be ok. Thinking of you......

@Snowflake just wondering how you're doing?

@Snowflake just wondering how you're doing?

I had a rough nights sleep-feeling scared. I'm never sick, never call into work sick, never go to the hospital-and BOOM I get this. I have cancer-ugh how did I get cancer?

@Snowflake just wondering how you're doing?

And not one of my siblings has reached out with a quick text or email or anything-frustrating.

@Snowflake None of us know how we got cancer, it just happens. When I was in my 20's I had cervical cancer. Very very early stage, and was treated with Cryo Surgery. But I was scared shitless. My daughter at the time was like 6 or 7 and I kept thinking, I was going to die and she would have no one.

I know how scared you are, and nothing I can say will alleviate that. It's something that you need to work through yourself. Just know that people here care, even if your family is to f*cking stupid to even send you a text. I don't know if they don't know what to say or are just too stupid to do anything, but even a "I'm thinking of you." would have been appropriate. Nothing just speaks volume to stupidity, IMO.

Hugs....

Thank you!! My surgery is Thursday -a lumpectomy. I see oncologist in October. They found a second spot in MRI but that was benign.
