Cancer Support
Showing Original Post only (View all)Thanks everyone for being so caring and supportive, I am so grateful. Got the results back [View all]
Two malignant masses in left breast, but the right breast is cancer free. Just atypical ductal hyperplasia that does need to be removed and evaluated.
So, now I need to get a referral to a breast surgeon from my primary care doc, meet with the surgeon, get the surgery, at which time I am guessing I might find out what stage it is???
And then on to treatment of some sort.
And then wait and see if I beat it or not.
Thanks everyone for being here.
I havent cried yet. I am sure I will at some point.
Right now I am just focused on what steps I need to take next, and then fears of pain after the surgery.
One step at a time.
