My Unexpected Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Journey

Hello. I was diagnosed on 3/31. Want to share my story. I had a spot in left nipple Since October. Prescribed antibiotics, the lotrimin, then hydrocortisone. Spot got lighter. My mother 86 y/o fell in December 28 and all my attention went to her. (About a month waiting for my anual appointment) Forgot about that spot. She fractured hip, has dementia and was in a nursing facility for 3 wks. Finally February I went for my anual. Check up my OB this time no my primary said. "Don't worry, is not cancer" got my mammogram about week later normal. Left side normal. Right breast with benign cyst. Spot is in the left Nipple. Ultrasound suggested for dense breast.ultrasound was normal. Everything clear. Went on March to see a plastic surgeon for reduction. March 17 she said that before planning surgery she had to biopsy the rash. She called me and said that wanted to see me before. To tell Me that biopsy was positive for adenocarcinoma. Very unexpected. 😩🥹 and ever since my life is been in a roller coaster. That doctor saved my life. Seen many doctors. Many tests. And told yesterday is a stage 3 🥹 changed plans that were originally surgery and then radiation. Now 20 wks of chemo ( 16 Rounds) before surgery. And I really want my breast out. Sorry! We are all going trough the same.
