Well the diagnosis is in and it's Stage 3 breast cancer. To say I really hate this is an understatement. Funny the things life throws at you. I am going in today for a MRI and they will decide what extent the surgery needs to go to (lumpectomy vs mastectomy) and then I guess they will do surgery next week. I don't know when they will start radiation but the doctor did mention that they would do radiation, then I bet I am looking at chemo to even though he didn't say that. He is a nice guy but he may be candy coating it at this stage even though I asked him not to. Anyway Teddi is coming up today to go to the MRI with me and then Cliff will go tomorrow with me for the results and the decision as to surgery.
I wish they would do the surgery now. I hate this waiting, it is really the worst part. It's like just do something!! I guess I will learn patience through this if nothing else. Anyway, I will try to keep up the blog as long as it doesn't get too depressing. I feel good and have a ton on excellent support around me. Cliff, our kids, and my family have all been rocks so just everyone pray for me and have positive thoughts. I love you all............................

don't start doubting just yet - they have come so far with treatment - if there is ANY chance of it coming back I say cut the whole damn thing off and get a new one!!!
So sorry to hear this. The good news is that success rate is so much higher than it was. Take care of your self and keep a positive mental attitude.

Dear Debbie - Greg just called to tell me about this - at first I felt devastated for you, and then I read your blog (yes, I cyber-stalk you - lol!) and read how positive you are, so I decided I would be positive too! No tears, just lots of prayers being said for you and sent your way. Maybe it is a good thing we did not come down this weekend, w/ the news so fresh... Perhaps we can come out next month, to celebrate good health and a great long-term prognosis? You and Cliff will be first and foremost in our thoughts in the coming days and weeks ahead. Best wishes to both of you- XOXO - Rhonda (and Greg) Cole

and... perhaps I have posted my previous entry numerous times... I am new to this commenting on a blog thing...Please delete if I was being repetitive! Rhonda
Well, I have proven not to even be very good at cyber-stalking, if I was, I would have read this, and known about your diagnosis sooner than when Greg found out by phone today. I had only read happy posts about vacations and dinners, Vegas trips etc. I think I now know how to at least use the various parts of your blog page to navigate around and find new posts... though I must say, I DO wish they could all be happy ones! Why must something like breast cancer have to rear it's ugly head!? Wishing you the best possible outcome Debbie! Take care lady!!! - Rhonda Cole
