The bad news is the good news.
I had a couple of needle biopsies done on my left breast. One showed carcinoma. There is no tumor just calsifications that typically form after fibrocystic changes ( which I have had since I was 15) and sometimes cancer cell changes. So it is very early.
They recommended a mastectomy partly due to my history, my DNA profile, current good health and uncertain future. They hate doing major surgery when you are in the middle of chemo or radiation.
I am tentatively scheduled for the 12th at UTMB Brackenridge.
They expect to follow up the surgery with chemo. It will be outpatient and for 4-5 hours - at a time.
That's all I know.
Enjoy your Easter!

I am one of the few people in the world who have had two primary cancers, bone cancer and breast cancer, at the same time. I am also the rare 60+ woman with bone cancer. I have survived both since August 2008.
