I haven't posted on this board much, but now I feel a need. I'm pretty scared right now. I became jaundiced earlier this month. Yesterday, after a week of CTs, MRIs, ultrasounds, endoscopic procedures, etc., I was to have my gall bladder removed for diagnostic purposes. He opened me up and couldn't even find the gall bladder due to a malignant mass in the area. We won't have results from the biopsies until Monday or later as some will be sent around the country for analysis. The doctors say this is all very bizarre -- it doesn't look like a breast cancer metastasis so we may be dealing with a new primary.
I was diagnosed with stage 2b breast cancer, Her2+++ in July '02, I'm trying to psyche myself up for the chemo and rads routine but it's difficult. Guess I should wait until the results are in so I'll know what I'm up against. I've been so inspired by many of your stories and I'll try to draw strength from them. Thanks for "listening." Paula
