I have cancer.

I have cancer. That is a terribly difficult sentence to say, but it is true. Breast cancer. Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. Three months ago I had some discomfort that I associated with my new handbag, not long after I noticed some changes then, I found the lump. My mammogram turned into an ultrasound, which became a biopsy and a week later a phone call telling me what I had already figured out. Friday, I will meet my team at MD Anderson, each individually and then all together. We will schedule more tests and formulate a plan. This blog will be my way of documenting my fight with breast cancer and keeping our friends and family who are far away updated.

  2. I know that you are one strong, capable, talented, loving and beautiful lady and your family and friends are there to support you, but this sucks! I hate that you have to be an ass-kicker. I know you will though, and in a very "Michelle" stylish fashion. Give it hell!
