A friend who helped me through surgery and recovery has recently been diagnosed with cancer in both breasts. At first, it sounded as if her situation with cancer was better than mine, but they kept finding more, so it is about the same. Lymph node affected on left side. Mine was discovered on right after surgery, hers was discovered before surgery. She will meet with surgeon today.
I am rereading information I was given in order to help her and her family. Plan to go to hospital for her surgery, if only for a little while, to be there for her family. Then will visit her when she gets home. I have two camisoles and will give them to her for her use so she can wash them and not be stuck with wearing the same one all the time for weeks.
She is a nurse, so is more familiar with the medical system at Mercy. Of course, by now, I'm pretty familiar with it as well.
Yesterday, I knew the news wasn't good when her sister left me messages twice without leaving information about this series of biopsies. So I was pretty anxious about getting the information.
