[quote=Anonymous]Angela, I'm so sorry you are going through this.  I have an early stage BC.  It sucks, but you will get through it.  I agree that the testing and waiting is the hardest part.  I sobbed the whole way through, just not knowing what I would be dealing with.  You imagine the worst.  It wasn't easy once I started, but at least I knew and had a plan.

I second the recommendation to please please go to a comprehensive cancer center if at all possible. Here is a link from National Cancer Institute that allows you to search by region:
http://www.cancer.gov/research/nci-role/cancer-centers

It may be that you can get some of your care at a closer location if there is not one in your area, but getting your initial diagnostics, surgery, eval, etc. at a cancer center will get you on the best path for you.  The beginning is so very important, I can't stress this enough.  You need to get the right diagnosis.

Also I second the recommendation to check into the forums at www.breastcancer.org.  There are some wonderful people on those message boards and I found the information helpful and the people comforting.

Lots of prayers for you Angela![/quote]
