Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Thanks, guys. The feeling is absolutely mutual! I think of you as good friends. I wouldn't be surprised if our paths meet someday.

Also, don't feel like you have to make a decision on the spot. I was lucky and had the choice between lumpectomy + radiation or mastectomy. I couldn't make up my mind then and there and so I took a week to decide, meet with the surgeon and talk with other women.

Cautiously great news--the MRI was totally clear, so even though she didn't get as wide margins as she is supposed to (she couldn't because of the tumor's proximity to the nipple), she thinks I might not need more surgery. Plan is to meet with the radiologist and see what she thinks. Most likely we'll be waiting 6 weeks and getting another mammogram to make sure all is still clear, then starting radiation. But right now, I'm on cloud 9. Mastectomy is totally off the table. More surgery would definitely mean losing my nipple, so I'm hoping for no more surgery, but I'm so thankful for the news so far! I didn't think it was a possibility that the biopsy had gotten it all. Yay!
Merry Christmas!
