Well, it's time to share the diagnosis from the doctor today. I wish I had better news to report but I know it could be a lot worse. I'm in the early stages of breast cancer. Yes, it was caught early and my doctor seemed very optimistic. They have scheduled an appointment with an oncologist in two weeks and I go from there. I've had my cry about this and it's time to accept it. My family really rallied around me today. I'm really not shocked but I wish it wasn't cancer.

Mishele -

Words fail me here, but I'll try. I'm so sorry to hear your diagnosis. However, I'm very hopeful for you, as you said, it's early, and early is a GOOD thing when it comes to cancer. In fact, it's the BEST thing that can happen when it comes to this diagnosis.

Love you sweetie...you keep us posted, and you know we'll do anything in the world we can to help you out, whatever you need.

Oh Michelle I as Sue are also at a loss of words. I know we can all say the most positive things possible right now...but, that in reality you will still go through much stress. But please remember, that it truly is a blessing from God that it was caught in the very early stages. And they have come so far in this area that if caught in time...which apparently yours was....it is completely treatable and actually not too invasive anymore. Please know my prayers are with you, and, I can feel your worries and your fear. But I have faith that God is going to bless you with full recovery. I know my words are pretty useless right now...I only wish you could feel what is inside my heart....my words can't convey it properly. God Bless!!

chagrin,

It's so good to hear from you Smile

You made my day. Thanks everyone for the support. I really do appreciate it. I need all of the thoughts and prayers that I can get today. My boss gave me tomorrow off so I can just have a day to cope. She was shocked when I told her the news today.

Thank God that this has been caught early and the type that is the most treat able. My thoughts and prayers are with you and you know how to reach me. Lots of love and prayers - Colleen
