July 14, my son and his new bride came from CA for a visit and then on the 18^th  my daughter from Boston came down. They stayed until the 20^th so I didn't have much time to dwell on what was going on. I had a wonderful visit with them.

I had an appt. with my surgeon on July 23 to go over my Pathology reports. I'm serious when I say I honestly thought that she would tell me she got all the Cancer and that I could begin my radiation treatments in a week or two. WRONG!!!

She examined me and then told my husband and me that she got the Cancer (YEA!!) but (Why does there always have to be a "but"?) she didn't get enough margins of good breast tissue from around the Cancer to be able to do radiation.

So now I have 2 options:

1.     I can let her go back and redo the surgery and try to get enough margin....my breast will be significantly smaller and would need partial reconstruction. Even then, she still might not get enough tissue to satisfy the Pathologist.

2.     I can have a Mastectomy and have reconstruction done at the time of surgery.

This is where I am right now with my Breast Cancer. Have you ever wondered why they call it your breast cancer? I always want to say...I don't want it! It's not mine...give it away!
