I am 39 years old and have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I have been asked to post my experiences here.

Strange

How strange! A Thursday without chemo! Just bazaar.

My newest nephew was born last night at 11:57pm. After a very long labor, Michelle pushed for 3.5 hours and his head wouldn't drop. So Diego is a c-section baby. I got to hear him cry last night around 2:30am while he was getting a bath. Michelle was so exhausted! They are supposed to be sending me some pix over the next couple of days. I really wish I could have been there for her but Doug was out of town. I hope to go see her either Sunday or bring the crew for next weekend.

Asked Dr. Karp about a PET scan to really really be sure but he said that it only shows tumors 1cm or larger and that we probably wouldn't see anything at all. So I am committed to the mastectomy. I am counting down in a rather twisted way. 26 days until I lose a part of my body - my breast no less. I really got to like them a lot since they got bigger after childbirth. Oh well.
