Tuesday morning I’ll have surgery to remove the cancer from my left breast.

I was quite surprised to learn that the suspicious place on my mammogram was cancer. I’ve had suspicious places before; I’ve been called back for an ultrasound before. I’ve even had a biopsy before. We don’t have a family history of breast cancer. Wow, was I surprised!

I think I’ve caught my breath now. I have breast cancer. I am led to understand that I have a difficult year ahead. I also understand that I have every reason to believe the outcome will be the very best – cancer free!

I’m incredibly fortunate to have family, friends, and colleagues to support me through this journey.
