No So Amazing Journey

.....But it will be a journey none the less. I will find out what I am made of so I guess in the end I will learn about myself.

Two weeks ago, I was a healthy 40 year old woman. On June 12th, I found out I have cancer. Funny thing is, I am still a healthy 40 year old woman. I feel like I could run a marathon, good thing because I am about to start one, so to speak. I have Inflammatory Breast Cancer of the left breast. I had two rather severe breast injuries over the past seven months and was misdiagnosed with fat necrosis until I went to see a PA at my doctors office, I didn't like the changes I was seeing and neither did she so we both grabbed the bull by the horns and got some answers. It has been a whirlwind! I went from doctors appointment, to MRI, to breast surgeon, to biopsy to definitive diagnosis in two weeks time, imagine the shit storm that is going on in my head!

I am blogging about this for my own sanity and to give those who are interested and care about me an update. I am told this is a rare form or breast cancer that often goes misdiagnosed but it is very treatable and I have every intention of getting better. I am not looking for medical advice from people or stories of other peoples fight, I appreciate it but I do not want to know what happened to your Aunt Tilly when she had breast cancer 15 years ago. I am putting 100% faith in the doctors I have selected and I am giving myself to them fully so I can get better. I have a great support system at home but I think this is a good way to keep up with all the friends I have met through the various blogs and boards I take part in. Your love, prayers and support are truly appreciated.

If you are interested, you can come back here to see what is going on with me and where I am in my treatment process. Feel free to comment and send positive energy my way, thanks in advance for all your support.
