The diagnosis

I was diagnosed with breast cancer on June 9, 2016. For the weeks that is took from talking to my family doctor about the lump, to doing an ultrasound, then a follow up mammogram and finally a follow up biopsy it was weeks of waiting and hoping it was nothing. I was told it was probably fibroadenoma, a benign lump, but the biopsy results said otherwise. I am in a waiting pattern right now as my specialist appointment is in a few days. I don't know the stage or grade of cancer and I am imagining the worst. This waiting and uncertainty is very hard.

I have a lot of emotions right now - sadness, fear, anger, frustration....it is a lot to process. I am hoping my writing in this blog it will be therapeutic for me.
