Waiting for phase 2 and then back to life

October 6, 2006

Hi my name is Alylene, I found out August 11, 2006 that I had DCIS. I

opted for a masectomy instead of the lumpectomy and radiation due to

other health problems, so that was done August 25. When the path

report came back my 0 grade DCIS was joined by an invasive cancer and

was now grade 2. I was told that the receptors were negative and that

the margins were clear, so I have so much to be thankful for, I am

waiting for the call to start my reconstruction and find myself a

little down today. Is this normal, I have had good reports and am as

far as we all know cancer free. I just want to get over the rest of

the surgery and move on to the future without thinking I have to wait

for this or that, just get it all finished. I don't mean to be a baby

but for the first time since I heard the diagnosis breast cancer I

feel like my life is on hold. My husband works out of town and

instead of being with him, I am stuck 200 miles awayfrom him, waiting

for, or making phone calls to tell me what is going to happen next or

when. I feel guilty for even being down when so many of you are going

through so much more. Thanks for letting me vent. Aly

Perfectly normal! You are not even 2 mos. post op. Give your body

and mind a chance to heal.

feelings. Hang in there it DOES get better. You will be in my prayers.
