Thanks ladies.

She actually called me yesterday morning, and was surprised that I answered the phone. It wasn't our best conversation, and it wasn't our worst. She was her usual Livia Soprano self, going from apologizing for how she acted at Christmas to guilting me to blaming me.

I don't know how her treatment is going to play out, because I'm honestly worried that the treatment will cause a problem. It seems awfully invasive for something that's hardly there, and it seems like if you look hard enough, you'll find something that looks suspicious in anyone. But I also realize that she's damned if she refuses treatment and damned if she doesn't. And she knows that too.

Thanks for the P&PT. She had an MRI yesterday, and I don't know when we'll talk again. I told her I was emailing her some articles and she still hasn't responded, so IHNI whose court the ball is in. At any rate, I'm a shitty daughter any way you cut it.

Ok, reread what you wrote, nevermind.

So they are doing a masectomy then w/ radiation?

I think just surgery to remove the cells; no mastectomy, then radiation.

Email from her today:

I got bad news last night and trying to sort it through today. The PT scan was good, but the MRI shows that the lump is 3 1/2 times larger than originally thought. Also, there is another little suspicious spot that will have to be biopsied.
It is complicated and I will explain some other time. More drs. and decisions to be made.

So sorry. Here's hoping that she has a speedy recovery, and that you are able to support her without getting too much toxic feedback in the process. That is such a challenge. Big hugs to you!

I just talked to her, and she's going to have a double mastectomy next week. She was going to just have the affected breast removed, but wants them both gone just in case and for symmetry. She had a radical hysterectomy a few years ago because she had some issues but pretty much just wanted everything gone, since a good friend had died of uterine cancer.
