First Visit

Wednesday turned out to be my first doctor visit.  I met the incredible Dr. Rachel Dultz, who walked me very gently through the cancer door.  She kept saying "your cancer" and I would flinch inside and think - this isn't my cancer!  It didn't ask for this!  Return to sender please! 

She told me that I have HER2+ breast cancer.  It's very common and very treatable.  She connected me with an oncologist who would walk me through the next steps.  I felt at ease and finally had some answers.  It was still scary, but I was reassured that I had met someone who could help me through this. 

And while blue is my favorite color, I'm starting to see a lot of pink!
