Day 2

Em spent around 3 hours with the Breast Surgeon today. They ran a bunch more tests and now we are in a holding pattern until the tests come back. Primarily they are checking to see if the cancer has spread to any other part of her body so she will have an MRI on Thursday to determine that. The surgeon said that it appeared that the lump has been forming for at least a year and that she was fortunate that it was located near the top of her breast where she could feel it. Had it been in any deeper, it might not have been caught this soon or even at all. Right now it looks like she will need some surgery (either lumpectomy or mastectomy) and possibly radiation.
