I was just diagnosed with breast cancer and had my first consult with a battery of people..ugh. I also have stage 4 kidney disease, so I am very worried about going into complete kidney failure, as they say that I will need chemo and radiation due to tumor size. I am a little numb, very scared, and overwhelmed with information overload! For me, being told your fate and having to make a decision right then, is too much. I was there 4 hours and spoke with 8 people. I have no clue what anyone said, except surgery April 6, radiation, and chemo.

So, I have 6 days to make myself a comfy rag quilt and maybe a cancer hat, before I am too sore and tired to accomplish it. Due to all of my other serious medical problems, I will feel very lucky if I can just survive the treatments. I would really love a stiff drink right now....if I drank! lol

Oh well, such is life! There is always someone worse off in the world :)
