Thisssss guyyyy!
This is a "here's how the cancer thing is going" blog now.
Short version: I had my first mammogram, they saw some weird lymph nodes, biopsy showed cancer, MRI showed a couple suspicious areas in my right breast, another biopsy determined that one was invasive, the other was noninvasive. It's between Stage I and II, prognosis is good, treatment is aggressive!
Today I got a port installed and I start chemo on the 31st. I'll be doing that for about 20 weeks, then a mastectomy, then radiation for 6 weeks.
I have great doctors and a nurse navigator and they handle all scheduling for me, plus I have contact information for everyone I have questions for (and I have many questions and everyone is very patient about that).
My parents live very close, I have outrageously supportive friends, and my main emotion at this time is "inconvenienced."
So, if you're worried, I'm doing great. If you want to know how you can help, I'll tell you once I figure it out.
In the meantime, I'll try to update here so you can keep up with how I'm doing and I don't have to send one million messages.
