I have had lots of breast cancer in my family.Grandmas, cousins ect.
My thoughts and prayers wil be with you and your family!!!!! I hope all turns out well....let us know if you need a "shoulder" to lean on!!!
Has your doctor said anything about putting you on Tamoxifen? My breast specialist put me on Tamoxifen as a preventative three years ago because I had a lot of risk factors- mom had breast cancer at an early age, I started my period young, I had my first (and only) child after age 30, and some other thing I can't remember. Recently, the specialist suggested that I might want to get genetic counseling to see if I carry the gene related to breast cancer, as I could pass it on to my son who could pass it on to his daughters someday.
