Yesterday morning was the follow up for my wife and It Is Breast Cancer. Even though I knew this in my gut it still felt like I got punched so can't imagine how my wife really feels. I put on the strong face yesterday while my wife cried and we discussed things but today I think I'll give myself a moment to cry since she is going into work.
It's an aggressive cancer BUT it was caught early and is very much treatable, curable and survivable. This was repeated by the doctor repeatedly so those are the words we use a lot since then. They got us in for an MRI yesterday afternoon for a better look and since there is no history of cancer in her bloodline we will do a genetic testing. Depending on results it could be an easy lumpectomy or double mastectomy, kinda of no middle ground at this moment. Of course this is all after chemo. Will not know anything more until the Monday appointment with the oncologist. Then a week later it's with the surgeon. I'll mention things as I know.
