On Wednesday, January 16, 2013, I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductile Carcinoma Grade
2 = Breast Cancer. I am doing well and in great spirits! This cancer was found
through a routine Mammogram which led to multiple tests and an Ultrasound Core
Needle Biopsy that was performed on Monday, January 14, 2013.
Me and my family have an appointment with the Breast Cancer
Multispecialty Team of Spectrum Health on Thursday, January 24. At this
appointment a surgeon, a medical oncologist, a radiation oncologist as well as
a genetic counselor, social worker and breast cancer care navigator will meet
together. These specialists will be joined by a pathologist, radiologist and research
nurse in conference to discuss and determine the most appropriate treatment
plan given my situation. This meeting is expected to last 6 or more hours. Upon
conclusion of the conference, I will have an idea of my treatment plan and
recommendations.
Sorry to be the bearer of this news. As my cousin Merri Lynn
stated on her Facebook page “I would love a punching bag with each cancer
ribbon (Breast and Melanoma) on it so I can smack the crap out of it". Well
said!
Think PINK!
