Timeline of events/diagnosis

While vacationing with the family in the happiest place in the world, Disney World, at the end of April, I felt a lump on my left breast.  I returned home and called the doctor.  I was seen on May 6th.  Here is a rough timeline of the events that followed:

May 9th-Mammogram at CR
May 16th-Ultrasound/Biopsies at NWH
May 17th-Diagnosed with breast cancer by Dr. Anderson
May 20th-MRI at NWH
May 24th-Met with Surgeon, Dr. Specht, genetic counselor at NWH and then Medical Oncologist, Dr. Comander to discuss treatment plan at MGHW
May 25th-Bone scan/Echo/CT scan at MGH
May 26th-Started my first round of chemo at MGHW
May 31st-Biopsy to place a clip/marker in the infected lymph node and port installation at MGH

  1. Hi All-Time #1. Been following your blogs and I am so happy at how far you've come in your treatments to date. You have talented and supportive teams both working and praying for your full recovery. You still have a ways to go but your mindset is right on - "One step at a time". Enjoy Carter and Katherine and take going back to work slowly so that you continue to gain strength and endurance. You've been through so much and you need time to build yourself back up. Keeping you close......... Howie
