was asked to come for a second, digital, mammogram. I wasn’t too surprised, I’d often had to do two in a row. But I did have a slight odd feeling about it. It was discovered that I had not one, but two tumors. They were stage 3 and one of them was \”open\” meaning easily ready to spread. I was totally in shock. I just wanted to hear the doctor tell me that I wasn’t going to die. After a biopsy and more tests it was decided that a singe-side mastectomy would be the best solution for my diagnosis. I must say that I had an amazing surgeon . . . right after she said \”mastectomy\” and I asked \”Am I going to die?\” . . . her response was \”This cancer is a nuisance and we just have to kick it’s butt!\” I was ready to do that.
