How My Body Is Cured After Breast Cancer, but My Mind Is Still Struggling

Perfect. My life was really close to perfect. My wonderful husband and I had just moved to our dream area and I had taken a new position which I loved. Our kids were all grown up. Life was amazing.

A routine annual check up to my new OB-GYN had led to a mammogram. A followup biopsy was needed for an area of what they believed to be calcifications. I was told it was likely nothing to worry about and I should get a phone call in a few days.

The morning of July 1 I received the phone call that changed everything. My doctor had called to see how I was doing with the diagnosis. I told her I had no idea what she was talking about. “You have breast cancer. Hasn’t the radiologist called you yet?”
