For those that remember, I have breast cancer. Next week (unless my doctor for some reason suggests otherwise) is the surgery I'm supposed to have, marking the first "treatment" I get.

Largely my surgery plans were all contingent on my genetic testing. My dear half-sister died of inflammatory BC, and my mother now has BC herself. Plus a cousin (mom's side) had BC. So I was definitely a candidate.

But, praise be to God, I am BRCA-mutation-negative, so in theory don't have to radicalize my surgery.

Please consider continued prayers!

I also am waiting for head MRI results (again), hoping nothing really scary is there (mini stroke? cancer?), that might even affect all this BC approach! Please pray for my head! (LOL - seriously, I have had major chronic head pressure and balance issues for 4 months now; trying to figure it out too!)

Thank you for all your help!

Regarding your balance, when was your last chemo. Do you take any meds that may be contributing? I’ve been on a trial drug for about a year. I had some side effects, but over the past month I’ve had a host of problems. So, I’m taking a 2 week break to see if it’s the cause due to cumulative effects.
