Because I can tell from your post you are having a positive attitude and that is essential. I know a part of you is frightened, I was at 30 when I was diagnosed with stage 3.5 melanoma when I was 31 and mother to two children under the age of 10. And Looky here, I’m still here bugging the heck out of your guys 32 years later. You will be here being a beacon for folks in 32 plus years too. Heck you already give so many of us hope showing how well the TMMO works—just look at your post below. Even while breaking the news you show us all how well prepared you are because you decided to take control of your money and your life.
Like you said this is merely a challenge. You had the presence of mind to get checked and now you are taking care of it. We will all be here to cheer you on, just as you have cheered us in our temporary set backs.
Many years ago my best friend had breast cancer and I walked the path with her every inch of the way. At one point we thought I might even end up in the operating room because the minute I’d leave her so she could go back for surgery her blood pressure shot up. The doctor’s were ready to suit me up to hold her hand until she went to sleep. I finally got her calmed down enough without having to scrub up and now 20 years later she is still cancer free, because like you she took a positive attitude. We laughed a lot, we cried a little and we both learned volumes. I was Dale’s “Boobie Buddy” and while I’m not close enough to hold your hand literally I’m here if you need me. Feel free to contact me off list if you need to talk.
