Hi! My name is Angi, I'm a 34 y/o Breast Cancer Survivor who after just 3 years from original diagnosis, has been found to have Recurrent Breast Cancer even though I had a double mastectomy. I am in the process of breast reconstruction - and now sit in limbo as I wait for test results of multiple scans to be read so I can see a new oncologist and find out what my treatment will be. I have a blog that is under my bookmark section - feel free to check it out!
Thanks for stopping by!

about How My Breast Cancer Nightmare Began
This article has taught me so much, first and foremost that you can never be too young to start monthly breast self-exams.

Breast Cancer = Mastectomy
However bound and determined to live I was, I had no idea what was in store for me...... My doctor never told me what type of cancer I had, or even what the staging was. Once I got a copy of the patholgy report I found that I had:Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma; Stage 2; T...

Happy Friday
Yesterday I spent my day at the hospital doing fun pre-op stuff. no matter how many nurses you tell that you have bad veins, one will always "think" she can hit it without hurting you. Why don't they ever listen? I left the lab with a nice busted vein from the needle bein...

Angi,Thanks for finding me! I am just starting to post my entire story also. It's three years old now -- I was diagnosed at age 34 -- and I too have a personal blog that details my whole story. Slowly but surely, I'll tell it all here too. Come see me at cancerspot.org if you wish.
I am so sorry to hear your cancer has come back -- I'll be keeping up with your progress and I wish you the very best!
