Once I came home from biopsy I called my Dr's office right away to tell them to call me as soon as they get the test results. The office staff let me know that if I didn't hear from them by Wednesday the 15th to call them on Monday, because the office was closed. So Tuesday came and went, no phone call. Wednesday morning, afternoon, evening came and went no call. So I was planning on calling the office on Monday morning. Then my cell phone rang at 8:50 pm. The call was from the doctor's office. I said hello, and the Doctor himself was on the phone. He said "Hello Cathy did anyone in the office call you yet?" I said no, I was waiting, He said I just sat down at my desk and read over your test results and it is Cancer. I looked at Ric and shook my head yes, and he just lost it. I tried to remain calm so I could ask questions. He said the type of cancer it is, is fast acting, and you need to get this taken care of right away, I want you to be OK Cathy.He did say it seemed to be localized which means it was in one location, it hadn't spread. He gave me a name of a surgeon to call for a follow up to see what was the next move would be. I hung up the phone, looked at my husband, and said with tears falling down my face, "I can't believe I have Breast Cancer!" We just held each other all night long and cried. This was hands down the worst night of my life!
