Monday Evening: Peas on Earth

I was using frozen peas to help my breast feel better, but have canned the peas (hah) in favor of ice cubes. They don’t melt so fast & they do help the pain.

I’ve even given in to taking ultram though I don’t like side effects of feeling goofy so I take only a little and rarely.

Only son is off to hang with sister #2. He's hugged me more today than in the past 5 years. Must be a bummer for even adult kids to process in so short time.

In the morning he and husband are coming with me to have my MRI, the next step to determining what “stage” we’re at in the progress of the disease. We must have a map for surgeon’s planning. So - tomorrow it is. We map.

For tonight though, twitter’s @AnnOhio wants to know who’s telling who what and when on Friday. I joked that it should be announced by NBC cameraman / journalist Jim Long, who we twitterers call @NewMediaJim.

Somehow I’m thinking I won’t want a camera along.

About My Cancer

Invasive Lobular Carcinoma
My form of breast cancer is less common than others. In fact only about 8% of cases of breast cancer are the invasive form that is based in the lobules, not in the milk ducts.
Invasive, sometimes called Infiltrating, in most cases this form of breast cancer has been present for 8–10 years when detected by a mammogram or physical exam.
During that time there has been plenty of opportunity for cancer cells to get out of the breast and spread to the rest of the body. it is after all, by definition, an invasive form of cancer.
Each year about 190 thousand women are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the US and about 40 thousand women will die of the disease. The larger the mass is when discovered the more risk. Mine had tentacled almost 5cm into the surrounding tissue and two other areas in the breast were discovered as well.
