~Believe's Update For Mom's Biopsy
Ready for this one?? Mom's biopsy showed cancer!! She found out on her birthday!! I tried to tell her that it was a gift of empowerment, I reminded her that Ed's diagnosis day was not the worst day of our life it was the DAY BEFORE.....and that the day before we were powerless.
From what the surgeon has told her it is DCIS and basically explained what I had already braced her for from her questions. I know she is scared and sad but I also know of the pillar of strength she has inside. She is so cute too, she said "Just tell me what to do and I will do it to get better, Marie. Anything, just tell me".
Like I have always done before, I have listened to your journies and taken them into my heart and soul. When I have something that affects me differently (a new chemo regime, questions about a side effect, etc..) I call upon you girls, My Supreme Warriors!!
And now I call upon you, My Warrior Sisters to just ask for any feedback or suggestions about DCIS. Anything will be appreciated from you girls. As you know I am rather educated about Inflammatory Breast Cancer and I would like to be that educated about DCIS>Love and Prayers without the tears>>Believe51
