Biopsy is Friday

Biopsy was delayed because nobody told me to stop taking vitamins and oils (Fish Oil). Oh well, it's this Friday. They told me the doc may want to biopsy both breasts; the one with the mass and aspirate the 3 contiguous cysts, and then biopsy the complicated cyst on the other breast. I told her to tell him to biopsy the heck out of whatever he sees! Path report in 24 to 72 hours after that.

So, in the meantime, is there a good book on BC that I can read - something that talks about getting through it and nutrition, and things of that sort. I am not holding out for good news, cuz everything so far says "malignancy is suspected", so I'm preparing myself for the worst and if it comes out great, then fantastic.

In the meantime, I want to run to Barns and Noble and get a book or two. Any suggestions?

    Dr Susan Love's Breast book
    It is considered by many to be sort of the "bible" of breast cancer info. It doesn't really deal with nutrition so much but is very informative. I know I have seen others rec. a couple of other books about getting through it so hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in soon.

    Good luck on Friday, I will send you positive thoughts and prayers, and hope for something to keep you busy through the weekend as you wait for results,

    Books....
    First let me wish you the best .....As for books....right now I would pick one that ISN'T related to breast cancer...I love to read, a real passion of mine...reading a good book can can transport you to somewhere else....I am never without a book....I can get so engrossed that when I stop reading, sometimes I'm surprised to realize I'm sitting in my own house...one that I really liked, and it's been out for years, is titled Under the Tuscan Sun by Francis Mayes...you'll have plenty of time to read about bc....

    Keep us posted....we care
