I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

I’m impressed you managed to both find a company and CALL THEM (!) and set up an appointment, tbh! That seems like the worst part. Personally I’m more than willing to hand someone my money if I don’t have to figure out who to call, call and make an appointment, arrange to have the work done, figure out if there’s a better/more cost effective option, etc etc…

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, sumi, I'm so sorry to hear that! I don't know if she keeps up here as much, but you might talk to Lee/Perkins?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Oh no, sumi! I hope it was caught early enough that it can be treated easily.

When I started learning about prostate cancer and tests and treatments and medicines, I started at cancer.org, but actually found the most helpful resources through YouTube and Facebook. Just remember to treat anything from there with a critical and skeptical eye.

I did go to cancer.org.

I have an appointment with a surgeon on Tuesday. I have the most common form of breast cancer which I am taking as a good thing.

I was pretty stunned yesterday & not feeling up to much today.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Sumi. The two people closest to me who had this diagnosis, a cousin and an employee, both responded well to treatment and have been cancer free for years. Lots of ~ma for great caregivers and effective treatment.

That seems totally fair. Good luck.

Definitely give yourself time to feel stunned and be good to yourself.

I am looking back & celebrating last week as the last week in a long time that I will have without medical appointments.

And in other news: I really enjoyed this year’s Kentucky Derby & American Pharoah has entered the Racing Hall of Fame!
