So, I am an 8 year breast cancer survivor.

In January of last year, I found a lump in my opposite breast while pregnant. My OB didn't want to to a mammogram while I was pregnant, and suggested keeping an eye on it until I delivered. I delivered twins 2 months early, and went in for a mammogram the next week. Based off the mammogram, they did a biopsy and everything came back negative. They called me to remind me to do a follow up, since it had been 6 months. I finally got a follow up done in October, and the lump had changed in size and shape, so of course they biopsied it. I got the news that it was cancer. My husband and I were discussing options and trying to decide on a treatment plan. I can't wrap my head around mastectomy, or chemotherapy and losing my hair. I know that sounds dumb, when your other option is death by cancer but I just can't physically go through either of those things right now. Tuesday night I began to throw up and thought I might have a stomach bug. Around 8 pm, I began having some chest pain. It felt like someone was squeezing my heart. I figured I had over exerted myself. 10 pm the pain began to radiate into my left shoulder and left arm, and my son called 911. At the ER they did a million tests, and luckily, no heart attack, but my CT scan showed some "suspicious looking spots" on my left lung. They referred me to an oncologist and recommended a biopsy.
So, that's where I'm at. I could really just use some prayers and good thoughts. I have an appointment with my oncologist Monday morning at 8:30.
