On Feb 16, 2024, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
My Mom was 47 in 1979 when she got breast cancer. I am 65, and when I made it to 50, 55, I really thought/hoped I had dodged that bullet, but I guess it wasn't in my stars.
I have a small pea-sized tumor in my right breast. It is invasive lobular carcinoma, grade 1. ER pos, PR pos, HER2 neg. I am glad it isn't triple-negative because that has a worse prognosis. Depending on the stage (which I won't know until after surgery) the survival rate is usually 90% or better.
I'm just really discouraged about everything I will have to go through to get there. Dreading surgery, and praying praying for negative lymph nodes.
It's also hard news to think about sharing as some of my relatives and friends have recently lost loved ones to cancer.
Please keep me in your prayers.
love you
