I felt a lump in my breast about a month ago and went to my doctor who sent me for a mammogram, ultrasound and breast surgeon. The breast surgeon quickly sent me for a biopsy and on Wednesday I got the terrible news...cancer. The shock is slowly beginning to fade and its being replaced by a fear i've never experienced before. I can't sleep, I can't eat and where I would normally read the pathology report and google the findings I'm too scared to know what it all means. The surgeon suggested a lumpectomy and scheduled it for Monday. Today I decided I should get a second opinion and I cancelled the surgery and scheduled an appointment with another surgeon for Wednesday. I don't know what to do with myself, how do I tell my kids, my parents. I can barely talk about it with my husband. I don't know how I am going to make it through this, I don't know if I'm strong enough. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.(sorry for the rambling, I hope it makes sense)
