Bad Right Breast

In choosing my doctor, I knew I needed someone that would take the bull by the horns, and take care of the situation, with all the confidence and expertise that was necessary.  I knew I needed someone who would answer my questions, no matter if I thought they were silly or stupid or not.  I knew I needed someone that also was extremely thorough.  And while I always suggest to others to get a second opinion, I never did.  Because I truly felt confident and comfortable with Dr. Breast.

Fifteen women tell us how they told their spouses, parents, family, loved ones and the world that they had cancer.  We all tell our stories in different ways, for the sheer fact that they are just that – OUR STORIES.  And how people react to them is guaranteed to be very different as well…

Special thanks to Marianne, Kim, Catherine, Katy, Pam, Mary, Sheila, Jennifer, Tiffany, Caryn, Heather, Allyson, Shana, Adina and my Aunt Kathleen for sharing their stories.

Over the course of 2 months during quarantine, I interviewed over a dozen women who had been diagnosed and then treated for breast cancer. All of our stories are unique for the sheer fact that we are each unique.  Not only will you hear many differences in each person’s story, but you’ll also hear some resounding similarities.

When you give bad news, you have to dig deep, stay calm, cool-headed and just rip off that band-aid.  HEARING bad news, well, it just means that you’re left with what’s underneath that band-aid.  Something that, in the instant moment in which its last grip is pulled, actually changes your life forever.

Over the course of an hour, 22 needles went in and out of my body. Tissue was cut, torn and pulled from my body to be tested and examined, and then probably reexamined, to see if I had cancer.  All while life goes on – neighborhood picnics, putting the twins to bed, visiting family – and all the while waiting to know if I have cancer or not.

Listen to what ALL of the various medical organizations say about getting a mammogram and when, and tell me if you can figure out when to get yours?  And then, listen to what it’s like when you have to get a diagnostic mammogram – the mind game and waiting continues!

I was 36, lying in bed one night, doing a random self-breast exam, and I felt it.  I knew it wasn’t normal, that it shouldn’t have been there.  But there were so many hoops that I had to go through before I could even get before a doctor to confirm that I wasn’t crazy and that my lump was in fact not normal.
