The Beginning
"It" all started with a lump (not a peanut) but none the less, it was rotten (3/19/2010). After several weeks of labs, tests, biopsies and surgeries, it has a name. Breast Cancer Left Breast.. For those of you pink ribbon "code talkers" it is: T1c, NO, grade 3,"triple negative". Relatively small, tumor removed with clear margins, lymph nodes were negative, all scans show no evidence of spread. Triple negative means that there are no hormone receptors on the cells making it a more aggressive type of cancer that is best treated with more aggressive therapies: chemotherapy and radiation. I have spent the last several weeks getting prepped for "chemo" and tomorrow it begins. I will post updates and thoughts when I can.

I like the idea of a blog. Hopefully it will serve as a healthy outlet and a wonderful therapy tool. If not, add wine and try again. :)
