On Monday I met with the surgeon. Dr. Hills was a teacher’s dream doctor. She diagramed a breast and explained all the internal workings, before she ever even discussed my diagnosis. Rick seemed unusually interested in that partJ. Preliminary diagnosis: Stage 1 or 2 invasive breast cancer with a tumor size of about 2 cm. It was unclear at the time whether the tumor was ductal or lobular (originating in the milk duct or the lobe). Didn’t really matter anyways-it was invasive, which in a nutshell meant it had invaded the surrounding tissue already. I was scheduled for surgery on Dec. 11.
