How It Started My life was going along pretty great. I was feeling good in all phases of my life: spiritual, mental, and physical. Work was going well. I was getting ready for our wedding, and getting the van ready for a trip out West. And then I remembered that I needed to get that mammogram scheduled. I got the mammogram. I always have to go back for a second one and an ultrasound, so when that happened I wasn’t too concerned.

They Pull You Back In This week I got to meet with both my surgeon and oncologist. I received the results from the second surgery, and the good news is that we have clean margins this time, so no more surgery. So that second surgery that I really, really didn’t want to have, was really, really important for me to have. The less good news is that the lump of cancer cells in there was bigger than they thought.
