Cancer, scared, need advice
on 1/30/2008 at 3:33 pm in
TreatmentDiagnose with cancer Dec. 2007, Went OSU Dr. on Jan.3, 2007. he said he thinks we can get lump out with a lumpectomy. Well when I got there on 1-29-08 and had a mamo again for them to place the wire in. The radiology dr. had a consultation with dr. Apparently this machine showed califications all the way almost to my breast bone, not cancerous yet he thought but probably will become, so suggested to go back home and we could reschedule for mastecomy. First he wanted me to talk to a plastic surgeon about procedure, but after talking to him, got scared and don't know what to do, don't know if it will be a good idea or not. I'm thinking that I just want the cancer out and be cured then go from there. I don't want to die yet and want to be cured. Oh by the way found out about my cancer through mamo, still they can't feel it but can see it.

DonnaI really dont know what to tell you .. I am a bi-lateral by choice .. I was diagnosed Oct. 2006 .. cancer was on left side but I had both removed .. I needed the cancer out and didn't want to risk it coming back in the other side .. I have not had reconstruction .. I'm too scared of that .. I am stage 2 Her2 pos. I'm a year and a half into this fight and by the grace of God I feel good .. You have to do what your heart tells you .. you can do this as so many of us have .. Be strong and know that we are all on your side. Love and Support, Donna
