Well, FUCK (the only appropriate word really). So, I certainly never wanted to have to write this post, but here I am, over five years after my initial breast cancer diagnosis, with a second diagnosis. Back in September, I noticed a lump on top of my reconstructed breast. After many tests and a surgical biopsy, I learned that I had breast cancer....AGAIN! It's unclear at this point whether or not this is a recurrence of the old cancer or a brand new one. Either way, it sucks....really, really hard.
The past month has been full of tests, scans and doctor visits. I am happy to say that there is no evidence of cancer anywhere in my body and three surgeries resulted in clear margins and the removal of all the cancer in my breast (along with the implant -- I'm totally uniboobing it right now. It's pretty effing awesome).
I really considered not blogging about cancer this time around, but I thought that it would be cathartic and a great way to keep people in the loop of my treatments and musings on stuff. So in the coming days I plan to share my treatment plan and other fun things like injecting myself every single day for the next three weeks in the hope to create some kidsicles. So, come by often or subscribe to my feed. And, if you'd like to read about more fun stuff like crafting or puppies and kitties, be sure to check out the Pretty Bird Press.
Much love,
Sarah
