One week after learning Baby B died, I was told I have breast cancer.
They can remove the tumor while you a pregnant. A nurse
practitioner told me they may be able to use a local anesthetic just
like they did when they did my biopsy (ps. I felt not a thing), then
treat me later with radiation or.....chemo or something after I am
healed from baby.
The medical people have been amazing (I have never said that before in
my life). I have 4 medical offices communicating together without me at
all. The surgeon's office actually called ME to make an appointment.
So I go to a breast surgeon on Tuesday and have heard from 3 sources
that the doctor is AMAZING and very compassionate. I have been told I
will love her. I will get my options risks and such from her and then
we will make a plan. I think they have to wait til 2nd trimester to
take the lump out (which is really close actually)
Mentally, I am up and down. I spent last weekend depressed about Baby B
and was convinced Baby A had died too. I'm trying not to spend this
weekend the same way, but it's up and down. I'm realizing I have been
depressed for a couple weeks and can't fight back very much right now.
I am trying so hard to learn to accept help. I am already much better
about this than I was years ago but still don't want to accept nice
things from people. So if people offer, I am trying to take it.....even
if I don't need it right now
