The results are in and I have Invasive ductal carcinoma, triple negative with lymph node invasion. All I heard was it is CANCER! The rest was all blah, blah, blah after that that. I cried and then turned to my husband and saw is sad face. I quickly wiped my tears and said ok! I had to hold it together cause one of us had to. Then Dr Iacobelli continued about being triple negative.  We left the office and we just couldn’t return to the house so we went for lunch at a Sushi restaurant. As we ordered a lady entered the restaurant and walked by us. She wad bald and I started to dry. I thought why is this happening. SHe sat behind us and I told Juan, “I need to talk to her”. Juan, “the fixer” said, “want me to get her?” I said, ” no, this is something I have to do”. So I walked up the this bald strange lady and asked if I could speak to her. She said yes please sit down. I told her I was just diagnosed with breast cancer and I want to speak with her. She said oh I don’t have cancer, I have alopecia. I said oh I am so sorry….. She was so kind that she said can I pray with you? I said absolutely. So we prayed.

I received a call from a high school friend Michelle M. that also went through breast cancer and was so aggressive and supportive. She wanted the absolute for me. She sent me her records and pages of lecture on how to read my own results. Which was amazing. She was another angel sent to me. My BFF made sure we connected and that she too could understand what I was going through. All of a sodden I was surround by so much support. From family, friends, nature, you name it I was getting signs that I will get through this!

The next few days all seemed to roll into one another. I was scheduled to go back into surgery to get clear margins. Then the oncologist called and said no we need to se you first. It went back and forth until finally it was agreed that I need to see the oncologist.
