This is beyond crazy. I'm sitting at my desk. My phone is in front of me. Volume is on. And.... I get a voicemail from the doctor saying she's sorry she missed me!!! It never even rang. At least she said she'd try back. I called back and left a message saying that if it doesn't go through to please try again. I just want to jump out a window right now
Why does this never happen to telemarketers? Just not fair.

I KNOW!!!! My client managed to get through 5 times. Still waiting..... I moved the phone from under the monitor in case electromagnetic fields were affecting it or something. And had another piece of chocolate.
Guess I burned up my luck winning $50 at the casino yesterday... I have Lobular Carcinoma Insitu and now have to meet with a surgeon. She said it will likely be classified as Stage 0, but it's still cancer and I'll have to deal with radiation or chemo. I don't even know what to think right now
I’m so so sorry this has happened. I know you have a support system IRL, but know I’m here to listen at any time. PM me if you need a sounding board.
((Hugs))
Thank you! I just texted my friend who works in the medical field to see if she has any input. I know if I say stage 0, or good prognosis, to my boyfriend, he'll say see? everything will be fine. Not that there's anything wrong with him being positive but I'm just not sure I can handle that right now. I'm not even sure I'll tell my family right now to be honest. Because we have the ones that just brush stuff off, and the ones that swoop in and take over everything and neither of those things are me, or what I need.
So I guess I wait (again) till Monday when I can talk to a surgeon. I'm shaking so much right now. And I'm looking at this pink note book they gave me after the biopsy, thinking I hate pink why did you give me that?! I didn't want a reminder sitting in front of me all week.
I didn't say anything in this thread as I didn't want to jinx myself, but 10 years ago one of my closest friends told me she found a lump. She went through radiation and got checked 2-3 times a year after. It came back 5 years later and she's gone now. I guess I should ask her husband what kind she had. I know she did chemo the second time as it had spread badly.

You need to do what feels best for YOU. If family or friends aren’t giving you what you want/need, tell them. This is about YOU and they all need to fall in line with what you want. I totally get needing time to just absorb this before sharing with others. I’m the same. You do whatever feels right to you.

Just to give input on my family, a few years ago I had an unexpected (and quick) surgery. My family was all together a few months later, and as one of my siblings is telling a story of how they ended up in the ER, helped by another - that same other sibling is giving me crap about not telling them I was in the hospital. And I'm scratching my head saying - but I didn't know about the issue I'm hearing in my other ear so I don't get your problem?!
My boyfriend is the best, he is right there whenever I need him but not overbearing. I couldn't ask for more. ❤️

I'm sorry you received this scary information, but it does not mean you need to face radiation, chemo, or even surgery. In a way, what you do have is very useful information about yourself that could help you avoid, detect, and get rid of an invasive cancer later.

Thanks because I'm reading very conflicting info!!

Family is tricky (and a bit crazy) for us all. Tell those you want to tell. You don’t have to tell the rest. 100% your call.
Glad you have a loving partner. And one who will support you in your choices. He’s a keeper!
