Finally, a Diagnosis!

Today, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in the lung. The waiting is over, and now I know. I don’t really know what I am feeling. I had prepared myself for this, and I knew this was most likely what it would be, so I am doing pretty good with the pathology results. But my mind can’t ignore that there is no cure, and I wonder how long I will have. I start thinking about how I want to prepare my family, and I start thinking about what I still want to accomplish in my life and how little time I might have to accomplish both those things. But no one knows how much time they will have, so I am trying to focus on the rest of this journey and not on the destination. I am anxious to hear from my oncologist and hear about a treatment plan. Will update again once I talk with my oncologist. I know this will be a long journey (hopefully), full of ups and downs, so I am trying to mentally prepare myself for what is to come. As always, one day at a time. And that will be easier for me now that I have a diagnosis and know exactly what this is and what I will be dealing with.
