Jill found a lump in her right breast on November 18th, the day we arrived in NYC for a 4 day vacation. She called her OB that day and setup an appt for the Monday we got back. We were not overly concerned as her mother has had many cysts that were benign.
Her OB figured it might be a cyst as well, but of course ordered a mammo and ultrasound. Those were scheduled for Thursday Dec 2nd.
At the ultrasound the doctor said that due to shape and look of the lump, he suspected cancer and wanted a biopsy. He also suspected cancer in her right lymph nodes.
We scheduled the biopsies for the next day, Friday Dec 3rd.
Thus started the horrible wait. From Thursday to probably Monday or Tuesday of the next week.
We carried on as normal over the weekend, which included some holiday activities.
Jill was largely unable to sleep, which was completely understandable. After two nights of nearly no sleep, an Ambien gave her some much needed rest on Sunday night.
We have told many loved ones. It is hard to think clearly when you hear the C word, so I am sure we have missed some people that we would have liked to tell directly. Sorry.
At this time, our kids do not know and we want it to stay that way until we know the real outlook and plan of attack.
We have already had an unreal outpouring of support, love and prayers. We talked to some folks at our church on Sunday as well.
