Thank you Laurie. I will read the article you recommended. The next phone appointment I have is on the 31st with the Dr, then June 3rd with the surgeon.

I have 2 young kids, 12 and 7. I told my husband it would probably been easier for me if we don’t have kids. I have not told them yet, I am going to wait until I learn more within the next few appointments so that I can explain it better to them.

I agree to not telling children yet. I kept my diagnosis private (only close friends and sister) till I had chemo and hair fell out. Very obvious then. I had Stage 2 estrogen positive cancer, it had spread to few lymph nodes.

My sister had stage 0 and her treatment was remove lump and then estrogen suppression drugs. She was in her 60s.

Every treatment plan is tailored to individual based on many factors; type cancer, age, medical / family history, pre or post menopausal, etc...

If possible, you may want to record your phone call so can re-listen to later.
