Good morning!

A am starting this blog because I recently found out I have breast cancer and wanted to be able to let family and friends know of my feelings and progress as I experience this new adventure.
This is very awkward because I really don't like to talk about myself very much, especially about my health problems. My spirits are high and I would appreciate it if everyone around me would be positive also and have a happy smile. I like funny jokes if I can understand them. I have a sense of humor so expect that to come out often. Please no advice. I have four wonderful Doctors, yes four. Before this is all over we may be on a first name basis, thats if I can pronounce them. Thank you in advance for your support.

  1. Hi Robin. I got diagnosed with gr 1- (minimally invasive but no lymph node involvement) breast CA about a month after I retired last July. How long ago did you get told? What's your next steps? (Besides thinking about it a lot)

  3. I mean for you to take for granted that it's OK to vent and ask questions of me (& your Dr.'s). I'm an RN & the unasked for personal experience.... I did surgery & radiation but not chemo. I've tried 2 estrogen blockers and will soon try a 3rd. Maybe some of that is more that you are ready to ask about & and there are LOTS of support things for this dx besides loving family & friends. I'd like you to know I'm available for some support & hugs too.
