    wow Cindi you have alot going on as well

    thanks for some words of wisdom,  been alot to think about. Not a decsion I thought I was ever going to have to make

    hubby and I both thought the same lets preserve as much of me as we can while we can.  

    meet with the surgeon on Tuesday (after a 2 week holiday)  and said happy to go with the partial removal. He is happy to do that,  just means the surgery is apparently more complicated.    

    But is what it is,  not thirilled with the idea but it cant stay there so out it has to come. 

    now I just wait for a date in the next 8 weeks or so ... 

    hope your scan went well and you are catherter free  and heading towards feeling better

    I hope you're ok & they get onto it soon so it's over and done with , I've found out that mine is stage 3 and invaded the fat aswell so I'll be having chemo within the next 2 weeks, a bit scared of that I must admit, but I'll do  whatever I have to, just plod on.

    You're lucky they found yours early, you'll be ok, I think a lot of our fear is the unknown, well for me it is.

    Hope you're ok. Don't forget you can pm me anytime if you like.

    By the way, I found out this cancer HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LAST YEARS BC AT ALL!!!!
    So others don't worry.
