Dx--11/2013

Mypuppy

Hi, i feel I am joining in a bit late since my dx, but I am still searching for answers and support from those who can relate. I know people are well meaning, but what woman with breast cancer (or any cancer) wants to hear "if you are going to get cancer, breast cancer is the best Kind. Ouch! Really! I can argue otherwise.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that my oncologist told me i may have had this tumor growing inside of me for 4 yrs! WTH. I was ALWAYS proactive and diligent when it came to my boobs. Annual mammos with clinical breast exams. It finally took my tumor to grow to the size of 6.5cm for it to show up on these screening tests. I dont get that. Had double mast with tissue expanders, 4 rounds of chemo, 33 rounds of rads, implant reconstruction
