My last mammography was in December but because of a large sore lymph node in my armpit, I asked to have it looked at and got in two weeks later followed by a biopsy less than a week later. It will need some kind of surgery and other treatment. I will be learning more later this week. These things change priorities. Everyone copes differently. I will be brave and do what the doctors and my husband request. I will let them be the expertise. I would rather read the Bible than read or think about cancer and its treatment. I am taking it one day at a time and enjoying each moment. I had planned to go on diet with a friend but a family member who works in the medical field said, "Load up on calories, it is fast growing so you are probably going to be given chemo." I ate anything I wanted today. No guilt. I am lucky I am not going through this alone but know it is hard on my family and friends.





I am very sorry for this news. I think your self-care attitude is great. Also you have hubby there to be your patient advocate. Let him collect all the information. As for dieting...I would think eat normally...not over or under. My mother's favorite way to relax during treatment was to drink a little champagne, talk to her best friend on the phone while they both watched the same television program. She didn't do any of these things before her treatment! Keep your spirits up, sweetie!
