can't believe it still

I know I'm not out of the woods, and this still might be angiosarcoma, but what a gift it is to have the next week to feel like I was just given my life back. I've spent so much time over the past few months preparing myself and all my closest people for the worst, that I don't really know what to do with this potentially wonderful news. I'm more shaken now then I was when i got the stupid diagnosis in the first place. This is one hell of a ride, one way or the other. If I never got the second opinion, I would be in recovery right now from a total mastectomy. This still may be the case next week, but imagine if it isn't....

  2. Yay second opinion! My God, your emotions must feel lke they've been in a blender. You have handled this all with so much grace. It seems like the power of positive thinking has been working so far, so let's keep it going! Sending lots of hope and love your way!

  4. You deserve some good news for a change. I'm keeping all body parts crossed, too. I kinda went through something similar 5 years ago and still kickin'. Luv ya' Corrie. Carol (Doug's Mom)
