Here we go again

Almost 13 years ago on February 24, 2002 I was diagnosed with DCIS with two lump, well because of the two lumps a mastectomy was in order, after the mastectomy and infections, I had reconstructive surgery a TRAM flap, nice was to get a tummy tuck and liposuction. So here I am 13 years minus four days and I am once again given the diagnosis of breast cancer. My first thought was “they should have chopped the f—– off in the first place. So next week sometime I will see the surgeon and explore my treatment options. I have to make the decisions that no woman wants to make, lumpectomy or mastectomy. So here we go again.
