Thanks for the support...

Hi All~
Thank you everyone, for your support, words of encouragement & incredible compassion. It's such a shock to find myself back in Atlanta, in winter clothes again...
I met w/my docs the morning I returned & the pathologist did another FNA.He said it's very small-smaller than a pea, but there's no way to tell from mammo, US or FNA if it's invasive. Keeping my fingers crossed for DCIS...I was scheduled for a PET scan this morning to make sure there are no other active sites, but you'll never believe, THE PET SCANNER IS BROKEN! So I'm waiting to see how soon they can re-schedule.
I was hoping to have all the info-path from the FNA & info from the PET-by the end of today so that we could really get started on our action plan. This additional delay is wearing me out! My onc said that chemo is a possibility-we just need to find out all the info...and radiation is likely.
UGH! I'm starving & I really need that cup of coffee that I skipped in anticipation of this morning's PET scan.
I'm hanging on by my finger tips...thanks for the encouragement. I couldn't do this (again) without all of you.

Keep the Faith~

ps-Debbie-I suspect I am the Pilates Instructor your friend has told you about...I'm humbled by the compliment. I haven't gone back to teaching yet since I'm still only 9wks post liver resection...& now this. I'm anxious to get back-I miss teaching so much. All in good time...
