When I was diagnosed I thought "Are you kidding me god".
When I got my first appt at COH with a breast surgeon and she said to get the best margins, I would likely need a mastectomy, I again asked God the same thing. Yet thus Dr explained. She would send me to oncology and go from there. Chemo possibly to shrink the tumor so my breast surgeon may have another choice.
My breast tumor only shrunk 1/2 with 13 rounds of chemo.
I also took a genetic test and had Brca2+. I knew my entire breast needed to go.
I have never been married, not with anyone now, and know with 2 barbie boobs a fellow will need to be very special to get together with me.
I had donated platelets at the Red Cross for 25 years, 600 units. I loved helping others all those years. I loved the Red Cross Team. June of 2021 was my last donation. Cancer in July. I think ivwas more sad I could not donate then getting cancer. I press on because I got v 3cblood and one platelet donation during my breast cancer journey. I cried with each knowing others were doing for me what I used to do.
