Official diagnosis.

First the bad news:
Report:Stage IV Breast Cancer
Biopsy result: Invasive mammary carcinoma, favor poorly differentiated ductal carcinoma.
CT result: Cancer believed to also be in liver, left hip bone, and breast and armpit nodes.
They are still going over biopsy to find if estrogen receptor and something else.
They are going to start with chemo, and put a port in asap.
I will be starting chemo on March 8.

Now the good news:
I have a GREAT medical oncologist. He knows his stuff, he's a believer, he's married to a teacher, and he's from the same area of the woods at my husband's family and even knows some of the same people.
GOD is great.
My husband, friends, and family are awesome, and I feel so grateful for them.
I am willing to do whatever the doctors tell me to do to beat this thing.


I know people feel helpless and want to do things to make me feel better, but please no flowers or plants. I don't know why, but I kill them pretty easily no matter how hard I try. If you want to send something, a card, a prayer, a letter or something practical will be more appreciated. I don't want to solicit for anything, but I do know what it feels like to be helpless and not know what to do.
