Bluegirl sorry to hear you got another seat on the bus. I am also sorry to hear about the loss of your mother, I know that makes this doubly hard. I appreciate you coming on here and sharing your story because I think we all need to understand that we need to continue watching ourselves as our risk will always be there. Hope surgery and recovery goes well.

Thank you all. I think I must just be in survival mode as I'm handling it fairly well for now. I knew it looked bad on ultrasound so I wasn't surprised. But, just so curious about next steps and if I will need chemo or not. Please share anything you think I need to know.
