I have breast cancer

I have breast cancer. It was found through routine mammography on my 53rd birthday at 8:30 in the morning. Within a half an hour I was diagnosed and had a biopsy done. And the world is forever changed. All summer I was in limbo land...waiting for confirmation of cancer.....waiting to see a surgeon....waiting for surgery.....waiting for the stupid drain to come out.....waiting for details of the pathology.
Today I had some good news. The surgeon got all the cancer and the lymph nodes were clear. Tomorrow I go to the Cancer Centre to find out about further treatment.
I find writing cathartic....so I am venturing out into blogging. Maybe you want to follow. Maybe it will help you too. Maybe it will help me be brave.
