Hope everything goes well. My mother has now been cancer free for about 7 years. My cousin had a double masectomy after it came back in the 2nd side about a year after the first. Has been cancer free for about 5 years now. My grandmother also made it through breast cancer (and skin cancer, 3 heart attacks, a bout with lung cancer)...until it got in her lungs again. Tough woman.
Good thing is, there has been so much funding and research for breast cancer...they are pretty darn good at treating it. Good luck.

Wow, what a list! Glad everyone made it! My only concern,which is my fault, is what stage it's at. Haven't had a mammo for 5 1/2 years so when this should have been caught is unknown until I'm on the table and they do path. I'm pretty much on my own as I've mentioned on fbg's CurlyNight Cancer thread that point folks here for folks interested in updates and all. Here's the thread on fbg where I explain more my situation in terms of support: forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?/topic/728141-cancer-curlynights-journey/

Keep your chin up. Like Mobb said, positive thinking goes a long way, and I'll send some positive vibes your way as well.

Last day before my journey really begins. Tomorrow is meeting eye candy surgeon followed by radiation onc on Friday. Starting to feel real but still holding it together. I'm pretty alone on this as I've chosen to keep family out except for bro. Fam would drive me more insane between those who'd be attached to my hip, the know-it-alls, and the over the top anxieties. I mean God forbid you don't answer your phone because either you don't feel like it or you are napping. So, much better and easier to just keep the very small circle of support irl for my own anxiety or I'd need 10 anxiety rxs on top!

Soon I'll have to have my sweet guinea pig Mooshy boarded for I don't know how long since no one will be around surgery time and not sure of schedules afterward to properly care for her. She comes first for me so I'm not going to keep her in here if I can't give her the same quality of care and attention she deserves. She'll be going to a guinea pig "spa" which is very close to what I give her here so happy I have that place lined up for her, but seriously bummed because she makes such a hug difference in my demeanor just by being here.

Since I know you have well wishes for me deep down under your need to be funny, it's ok. My guinea pig is like my kid as I have none. 1/2 my living room is her shit lol. I'd go bankrupt if I had a kid, already kind of am with Mooshy. Pets no matter what your choice are the best companions. They love you unconditionally, well let me change that, I get more love if I come with treats and veggies! Just looking at her makes me smile. So this will be a big loss for me in my support circle but I have to do right by her. I may not cry for myself, but I know I'll be when I hand her over.
