So, what a blow. Today they told me I have breast cancer. You know the possibility exists but you can never be prepared to hear those words. Both breasts even! WOW.I get the referral, call that doctor and am told I can't get an appointment until the 28th!!! As if the news isn't excruciatingly painful enough. On the flip side of that, a doctor that is that busy is probably pretty good and that is what I want. I think I am fortunate in that I have the pathology reports in front of me and so am able to do some research on the internet. So what i do know is this...the cancer appears to be Stage 1. That is good if cancer can ever be called good.The out pouring of support is overwhelming. My family is so awesome. Not sure how I was blessed with such a great bunch. My friends are amazing. The Big West community and the racing community blow me away. My co-workers are wonderful. So much support.I will try to post my ups and downs as I go through this experience. It's cathartic for me and others may read and know they are not alone.more to come I am sure!
