Our 1st appointment with the surgeon:

Up to this point, the crying had subsided and I thought I had come to terms with having Breast Cancer. The Dr. walked into the room and said, "I am sorry you have to be here..." and I started bawling. Crying like I hadn't cried before. I almost thought something was wrong with me. I couldn't stop.

He said, "This is treatable and curable, but NOT uncomplicated." He told me I would need further testing and need to talk to the Oncologist PRIOR to having surgery.

Man.......I thought he was going to tell me...surgery this week...but that is not what was said. OK, what tests and lets do them TODAY!! It doesn't go that fast. :(

Dr. told me he wanted to do another ultrasound of the left breast to see the tumor and was going to schedule me for an MRI. He told me I need to make an appointment with the Oncologist and after both of those appointments are complete, to make another appointment with him.
