I have breast cancer

I know little else. The doctor phoned half an hour ago, said it was bad news, it was carcinoma.

DH went and got the report from her (she's just down the road a bit) and in looking at it now few if any words are familiar from my minimal research. There are phrases like "Infiltrating Mammary Carcinoma" and "Pseudolactational hyperplasia is focally present". They sound important, informative, but I don't know they mean.

We are making phone calls. Things are being faxed. Appointments will follow.

I am in shock. We are all in shock. Right now all I care about is living for my babies. My babies, dear God.

Okay, I can't write anymore. I'm sorry.

I'll post when I can.

Kayleigh, I am so sorry to hear this news. I am thinking and praying for you and your family. I hope you get the information you need quickly.

Just let us know if there's anything we can do. Seriously.

Autumn said...

Oh, Kayleigh!! I'm so sorry to hear that.

We are thinking of you over here.

Oh my god Kayleigh, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm at a loss for something to say, other than I will be praying for you. Please stay strong, xx

Jane said...

Kayleigh - stay strong. Don't think of the worst possible scenario. Think of the thousands of women who have had the diagnosis you have today and are still around. I read this weekend that more women are surviving breast cancer than ever before and the US is one of the leading nations.
I am praying for you.

I am so sorry to hear this! But you and your family are so strong, and you will all beat it together! I'll definitely be thinking of you.

Jean said...

Dear Kayleigh So very sorry about all of your trouble. I have never commented but have followed you from the start. Your writing shows a very strong woman, you have already overcome so much in your life you will cope with this. You have been in my thoughts continually and I just wanted to let you know how much I feel for you and your family. Very best wishes from Scotland. Love Jean.

Oh honey I am SO sorry to hear this. I will keep you in my prayers always. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

I feel strongly that you will get through this, though. I really feel that.

Oh, hon, I am so sorry. I've just caught up on your last few entries and my heart goes out to you. Positive story: my friend Karen (featured on my blog this last weekend) had breast cancer several years ago. She had one breast removed and has had no recurrence since. Stay positive.
