I just found out that I have breast cancer last Monday. I have had a mammogram, sonogram, and biopsy. They think it is DCIS, but KU is going to do further testing in 2 weeks. I had a mammogram in February and it came back normal, though I do have very dense breast tissue. 2 weeks seems a long time to wait. I have been exercising and eating healthy, but I am waking up every hour after 12:30 a.m. I am 66, but still work as a para with special needs children. I still do my grateful journal and right now I feel like I am in a holding pattern until my appointment. Any words of wisdom?

The waiting game can be the hardest part of this journey you are embarking on.  You are not alone!  I am so glad you came here and voiced your thoughts so others can support you.  I will say, through my experience, the doctors will make things go faster if they see a need for it.  I had to wait a month to meet with the team of doctors to go over the plan.  You've got this!

@23byebyeboobies Thank you. While this is scary, Tuesday can not come fast enough! (My first appointment at KU)
