Just laying around in bed I rubbed my hand over my upper left breast when I felt a little lump. My heart raced thinking the unthinkable.  2 weeks went by and the lump was still there.  Scared out of my mind I called my Gyno for an appointment. She immediately thought it was some kind of fiber filled tissue thing. In Oct 2007 I had an ultrasound.  The ultrasound recommeded I get a biopsy done.  Nov 16, 2007 I was told the biopsy came back positive, it was cancer.  Shocked I cried....alot.  I am only 30 yrs old my youngest child is just 2 yrs old.  How????
 I saw an oncologist and he advised it is stage I.  A little releaved since I know it is early and cureable.  Then the surgery(lumpectomy on 1-31-08) came and we found out the tumor changed from 0.8 cm to 4.5 cm in 2 months.  My lymph nodes were removed since 2 were infected.  Now I am STAGE II B.  Concerned, I dont think of the negatives and focus on the good in my life now and to get thru this.  I know I am strong enough to beat this.  
I want to do the double masectomy since this runs in my family.  I do not have the cancer gene but the lab advised the cells are abnormal so I am classified in the uncertain?? anyone eles in this class?? I am a bit confused.
I am ready for treatment but I am doing screenings to be sure I don't have any cancer elsewhere.  
any comments, advise or questions are welcome.  ]]></description></item></channel></rss>
