As the Doctor hands me the box of tissue....

My story began as an annual exam, then a mammogram, then an ultrasound, then a biopsy, then a diagnosis (or sucker punch) of "invasive lobular carcinoma". 
The positive side to the story, early diagnosis 9mm.
A visit to the surgeon, MRI.  Results came back OK, but need a second look bilateral ultrasound. 
This means more tests and waiting.......
I thought I would start this blog to let anyone who wants to, keep up on all my news!
Since I found out, although I keep waiting for someone to tell me it's wrong, I have only told a few people.  I have a hard time believing this is real, and even harder time talking about it.  I have been so amazed by the support  of the few people I have shared my news with.  Thank You!!!
I read a lot on the internet and discussion boards, but still have a hard time thinking I am part of the "club".  I really don't want people to look at me different, I don't want to look into their eyes and see sadness or pity for me.  I have truly been blessed with my family and friends and will get through this.  This is just the beginning, not sure what lies ahead, but I will keep anyone interested informed and maybe even sometimes entertained!
