The breast surgeon was amazing. i want to be her when i grow up. i have nothing sarcastic or snippy to say. and i'm sorry that i accidentally stole their copy of Piedmont Virginia magazine.
pretty good news! apparently, I have large breasts and a small tumor, a good thing. she recommended a lumpectomy (also known as breast conserving surgery/partial mastectomy), six to eight weeks of radiation, followed by tamoxifen for several years. she said they wouldn't know about chemo until after the surgery but she was 95% sure i wouldn't need it.
that almost seems like cheating.

ReplyDeleteI just logged on to your site and want to thank you for sharing your courage and your strong sense of self. Your wonderful mother and my mother are like sisters. I love Sharon so much. I am here to provide you support and to be a friend to come visit in San Francisco as you look for things to do and places to visit in the years ahead. I am thinking of you and will be reading your blog. Let me know what I can do to help you in any way. Also, I am very interested in education like you.
Sincerely,
