I was hit hard on Friday,was diagnosed with breast cancer.I was in tears and luckily my fiance Jason was beside me.Gave me a hug and told me that he was going to love me through this with his support.My family was hit hard a second time,my mother was diagnosed too with this.I am very lucky,was caught in the early stages.Looks like I won't do much,first is surgery and then the treatments through the surgery.At least my mother and I have the support that is needed.See the doctor on Monday to schedule the surgery and discuss the options.

I know words from a complete stranger don't amount to much, especially coming from a person who has never been through a crisis such as yours. You have my sincerest wish that everything works out.

Look at it this way. It was diagnosed early and that greatly improves your chances of recovery. Hang tough- there are a lot of folks wearing pink for you!

Sorry to hear about the diagnosis and best wishes for whatever has to happen next. Follow through on what the Dr. says; you have a 56 to finish up

I have a friend that I worked with who was diagnosed while we working working on a construction project. Most of us (including her) were all working 5 to 8 hours from home. She didn't have a lot of family at home so she decided to go through the treatments at the local hospital and continue working. It was rough but she's still cancer free after four years. She caught it early too.

Find a good Hospital that specializes in it. My friend did all her stuff through Brigham and Women's in Boston and the local hospital treated her following B&W's guidance.

My wife is a 10 year Breast Cancer Survivor!! Her's was caught fairly early, and there were no complications. You will do great!

My a wife went through that in 2009. She caught it very early through her mamogram. She had a lumpectomy and six weeks of radiation. So far she is fine and I know she will continue to be. Bless you and your Mother. That is more than you should have to go through. Prayers are with you and your family.

My fiance shows his support,has the pink ribbon in his truck and a couple of his friends thought it was a joke.Said it was not a joke,supporting my mother and I for what we are going to go through.Doctor said if caught very early,have a much better quick recovery.I felt a lump in my left breast on
Monday and seen the doctor on Wendsday.

I'll keep you in my thoughts and say a prayer for you. A lot of women go through this unfortunate thing. There is power in prayer, so have faith!!!!!

Good luck and will keep you in my prayers. My grandmother was a surviver back in the late 70's.

Sorry to hear about that. But it is good that they caught it early.

My mom got diagnosed early and treated in 2010 for an aggressive form of breast cancer. (Lumpectomy, Kemo, and Radiation) It happened to be the same type her mother had and she is a 20 year survivor. Mom is doing fine so far, without any issues. Hang tough and be positive, our prayers are with you.

From one cancer fighter to another...you're gonna be fine. Keep thinking positively and you will get through this just like any other challenge. Cherish the good news, don't worry about the bad, and before long, it'll all be over. Treatment is hard, but it sounds like you've got the right attitude and support around you. I'll be praying for you to recover quickly and kick Cancer's ***!

My kids are doing much better,the support from them too.I know what it feels to have cancer,I have been through it once and won.Had the early stages of ovarian cancer a year ago.I always listen to the doctors.My mother's sister/my Aunt Belle was diagnosed with early stages of breast cancer 2 years ago and survived,my mother and I told her this today.She was stunned,breast cancer runs in my mother's side of the family.My cousins Stacie and Vicky already decided to get tested if they have the gene for breast cancer.Talking having my nieces tested when they get older.

Seff

Nip it in the bud, excellent plan.

I wish you and your mother a speedy recovery and a cancer-free future.
