seriously, indescribably, sucky.
 That being said, positive thoughts help a lot, so I'm sending you some.

Bri, I don't know what to say. But I have seen many women survive this and be happy in their lives. The way I deal with my medical conditions is ignore them, and try to make them insignificant in my mind. This will work. My own problems are not as serious as yours, and never will be. You have survived a lot, and can survive this, it is all up to you.

Wow. I'm a blessed creature. I thank you all for taking the time to give me some of your love and hope and good news--THAT is what the cellar is. That's why it's so important to all of us. What a great network of caring people here---pls. forgive my maudlin gush---i mean every word---i'm just an emotional wreck today. Tomorrow I'll be "in UR reality Stealin UR STuff!"

Bri, you can and will whip the shit out of this, without question. I know that it will seem incredibly insensitive of me to say this, but it is something that I feel I know more than a little bit about. If they have to do a radical mastectomy, it is not going to make you one bit less beautiful, desireable or worthy of love. I've been carved up like a Thanksgiving turkey. I have an ostomy bag, a gigantic cavernous scar that runs the length of my abdomen from the aftermath of the wound infection following the colectomy, a zipper from the bypass surgery, I'm 80 pounds overweight, short, with gray and thinning hair and generally not a physical specimen of any traditionally desireable qualities. Yet I am blessed with a beautiful wife (whom I met after becoming an ostomate), a couple of damn hot girlfriends, an incredible wealth of friends and loved ones and a pretty damned enviable life in most every way.
I say this because I want you to know, and to truly believe, that even if you lose a breast to this bitch of a cancer, you will do so to maintain a life that has incredible value, full of purpose and potential, and in the end, you will be beautiful, desireable, and a whole person...just as you are now. You will be stronger, tested, and even more formidable than you can now imagine. We will love you, pray for you, send you all the energy it takes to beat this fucker into submission and walk away as the goddess you truly are. I personally will put you on a pedestal...and then look up your dress every chance I get.

Bri, you can beat this. You know the drill, eat lots of fresh fruit and veg, give your body as much help as you can. People can and do survive this, no reason why you shouldn't be one of them.

Bri...when the time comes for treatment, be it surgery or other...do you have people there for you? Family? Kids old enough to drive and provide appropriate support? If not, you need to let us know that as soon as possible so efforts can be made on your behalf. Please don't try to do everything yourself as you go through this. People need people to prop them up when times get tough.
We're people.

Well fuck me running.... this is not good news.
 I'm sorry you have to deal with this major health cluster fuck Bri. Seriously though, do what you need to do to take care of this. Get it done and we'll talk about new boobies.
