Day 4: Post-diagnosis

Well, it's the end of the first week and I don't feel any differently than I did a week ago. I had the breast biopsy on 8/16. The news came Monday afternoon. Ductal Carcinoma In Situ. As far as cancer goes, I drew a pretty good card. It is one of the most treatable forms. That doesn't mean treatment is going to be easy. The next couple of months are going to suck! I see the surgeon on Tuesday. Surgery is definitely in my future; the question is how extensive... I guess my dreams of becoming a topless dancer are out. Oh well. Guess I'll have to save the world instead.
