Newly Diagnosed

Two weeks ago Friday, I found a large knot in my left breast. After getting my mammo this past Tuesday and a whirlwind week of tests, because the diagnostic mammo revealed a mass. I was immediately scheduled with a Breast surgeon for a us biopsy When the pathologist indicated the specimen cells were normal she immediately sent me to get a mammo guided biopsy and after pathology was back, I've been diagnosed with an Invasive high grade ductal carcinoma with high proliferative rate and extensive necrosis. In other words an aggressive stage three malignant breast duct cancer. I've been warned it will be a rough year ahead. My doctor asked how I was taking this news so calmly and I pointed upward. "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength". I have an awesome husband, family and friends. Not to mention, God's got this! I know it will be one of the hardest things I've ever done, but through my faith I will be a conqueror.
