Biopsy: CHECK!

Hi faith_hope 77. My BIRADS was a 4 but not categorized any further. It was always nice to hear that most biopsies come back B9, but I did prepare for the worst by reading about treatments and plans just in case mine was not. I feel like it helped me when I heard the words cancer/dcis/microinvasion. Emotionally I did not begin to feel better until I had my reexcision surgery and received clear margins. I have 4 kids and did as little work around the house as possible and spent as much time as I could with them. I would stay up very late some nights reading these message boards and learning all I could. I got a prescription for Ativan and that helped so much during that very scary time. Hang in there and know that everyone is here for you.

hey Faith thinking of you, I would say don't Google but there's a wealth of information on here and it's encouraging and uplifting. Stories from the horses mouth so to speak. One thing I googled that was cool was celebrities with Breast cancer, all kinds of people I didn't even know had had it. Don't Google anything else. I read a blog called chemo couture and that girl is cool. This wait is super hard eat food that you like and that is kind to your stomach. Order pizza for the kids. Take a nice bath with some nice bubble bath..easier said than done with special needs kids I know. Hang in there, I'm here for you. Also one random question for you do any of your kids the autistic ones in particular ever get real constipated ? My five year old is so backed up right now and can't go.. Any tips please let me know, I've been trying to push fluids, done half cap miralax..still nothing

warm orange juice thank you.. That's a good one for me a Spanish coffee does the trick but can't give that to my son how are you??? Results? Hope you're not left waiting this weekend.. The meeting for the private special ed school was rescheduled for tomorrow.. I am suing the board of ed here in NY, sounds crazy but a lot of special needs parents do because autistic children just cannot be accomodated by the current system, there's just the small problem of paying the lawyer soon.. Hope all is well with you

Yes Krysta is awesome isn't she, moving forward with her treatment and still working (playing a Cancer patient!), and she is doing chemotherapy right now! It's obviously very difficult but she brings a lot of energy, and a force that makes you feel like anything is possible. I do appreciate people with Breast cancer not ' hogging their stories ' and posting them here or wherever for others to get encouragement and information, it helps so many people.

Yay, faith_hope!!!!! That's good news indeed! I'm with you - still waiting on the call to schedule my lumpectomy. But let's celebrate the first results!!! Congrats!
