On the morning of April 1st Mike and I went to the breast sugeons office for the results of my biopsy. On arrival we were ushered into an exam room. The Dr came in told us and I had breast cancer and we headed to his office to talk about options. I think we expected the result but the news was devistating. How bad? What about Elissa and Katy? How will we tell our family and friends? What about work? So many swirling questions. We were told I had invasive triple negative breast cancer. That I would need surgery and likely chemo and radiation. He scheaduled and MRI for the next morning after that we would see him again and make choices regarding surgery.
We left the office in a haze. I started calling family and friends. What a cruel April fools day. After many phone calls I sent an email to friends and family I could no longer say the words " I have breast cancer"
