I started this last week.......so here go's
i just found out today that they think that my mom has breast cancer. She has been problems with her breast and i finally convinced her to go to the doc. She had a mamogram and u/s done today and they found a mass in one of her breasts. She is schedualed for a needle biopsy for next Thursday....and i am falling to pieces. I'm so scared and worried....breast cancer runs in our family so we know the chances are very high...she has a lot of the risk factors...please send up a prayer for my momma. I dont know what i would do without her.....
I took my momma to the biopsy this morning. The procedure only took about 30 min.... her doc told her that he would be Very, Very suprised if it doesnt come back as cancer/ He said that is what it looks like...and the fact that it has tripled in size since last thursday. We get the pathology report on Monday...and she has an apt with a surgeon on Weds morning...to discuss options...because no matter what she'll have to have surgery to remove it,
We just got a copy of the mammogram report to take with us to the biopsy on thursday. The report says theree are 2 masses in her right breast, both about 15mm in size, and the report says 90% chance that it is malignant.
How do i soak this all in? I'm so scared and dont really know what to do. We havnt told the kids anything yet...but we should know a def answer by July 8.
We got the results of the biopsy on 7-8..she has invasive ductal carcinoma
We had the surgeon's apt today. the surgery is tentativly schedualed for next thursday. She will be having a lumpectomy and a centinal node biopsy at the same time. Right now Chemo is still up in the air...but she will have to undergoe 6 weeks of radiation...5 days a week. The chemo treatment depends on if cancer has spread to anywhere else in her body or not. She has to have a breast MRI before surgery to see if anything looks suspicous in her left breast...if so treatment options change. They will also do complete lab workup where they check her liver profile (or something like that) because the liver is one of the first places the doc said cancer will spread to.
We won't know what stage the cancer is at until our first post operative apt..after all the extra tests have been finished....
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

Love, Reece.
......My mother in law had breast cancer 12 years ago now and had her breasts removed. Touch wood, to this day she is still
fine. I will pray it is the same for your mom.
I couldn't even imagine....
