Bad results on mammongram!

I have told everyone I know and deal with in my life about this and realized when I just posted on Feb. Frugals
that you are people that I can look to for prayers, good thoughts and support too!

The mammogram I had done a week before Christmas led to an ultra sound and then biopsies.

I have seen a surgeon two weeks ago and have been booked for a mastectomy and biopsies of the underarm lymph nodes.
on Feb24,

Because I have had a breast cancer before, 18 years ago and was given radiation then, it can not be done again.

Because it was only 14 months between mammograms it has been caught fairly early, but it is and invasive type, Grade 3 so
it is good they are moving quickly.

But, if the lymph nodes biopsies come back okay the surgery may be all I need. Will not know this for about 2 weeks
after the surgery.

So I am going with that thought for now!

I knew you would want to know.

Blessed Heavenly Father,

I lift your daughter Danna up to you. Father you knit her together in her mother's womb, there is nothing about her that is hidden from you. Father, I ask that your peace come upon her. That you carry her in the palm of your hand during her walk in this valley, and that she would know you are always with her, because you go ahead and make straight the path. I ask that you give " eyes to see" to the surgeon, and also guide his hands. Father, I thank you in advance for your healing touch. In your Son Jesus' name.... AMEN

Surgery went well and I am home. Not well for 24-36 hours after but, starting to feel much better
with a lot less pain.
Good news Bone SCan done last week is all clear.
So, now I just need to wait for the results from the underarm lymph node biopsies that will be a couple of weeks.
Thank you all for caring it helped....

Update Onward and Forward:
I am at almost 4 months out from surgery and feeling very well recovered!

The Lymph biopsy showed one yes one crummy cancer cell so Chemo was an option but,
first they did some knewer testing of the Cancer to tell them the probability of it's returning.

The test had a score of 1--50 and mine came back as an 8...this is VERY GOOD news.

So NO Chemo...I am very relieved. I have been put on a drug called LETROZOLE for 5 years it is an
Estrogen blocker..,,,,The side effects can be hard on you seems like extreme Menopause but, at least
it isn't Chemo and that is the best part !

So, now I am just getting use to the pills and wearing a prosthesis. The good ones are $400.00 but, the
government pays for half.
I have decided this is a good time to lose the last 15 extra lbs I carry around before I get this.
So far I have lost 5 lbs just need to keep the goal in mind.

Also, as always being frugal and having the extra money available and not one more worry in a health crisis
it the Best Thing of ALL!
