Newly Diagnosed
My doctor called me today to tell me that the biopsy indicated that I have cancer. I need to make appointment and discuss options. I don't know what to think at this point. The malignant spot is just off the bra line. The doctor is surprised the mammogram was able to pick it up. Thank God it did. Please pray for me.
