All week I have been doing little things to help pass the time I met with HR at work to find out about short term disability and FLMA since it is the end of the year I have very little sick and vacation time.
I spoke to my immediate supervisor and explained what was going on. Everyone has been very supportive of this and or that I am grateful.
So Thursday started off like any other day got Tyler off to school then it was off to the doctor to get my results.
I was very nervous waiting for them. Richie and I were still hoping for the god news but that never came. When the doctor came in she sat down and told me right away I have cancer. My specific diagnosis is infiltrating poorly differentiated duct cell carcinoma
Estrogen receptor positive.
Yeah it sucks go ahead you can say it.
Although I thought I was prepared for it i wasn't it hit me like a ton of bricks.
I left the office armed with a packet for The Cancer Center of NC and a list of doctor appointments for the following week. I am back on the 29th to schedule my surgery.
Other fun notes:
My lymph nodes are swollen. We don't know why could be because of the biopsy or because the cancer has spread. I will find out after a breast MRI.
I am strongly recommended to get a double mastectomy because of my BRACA positive and family history.
