that I felt, but I demanded a mammogram regardless, even though I was told I was wasting time and resources.
When that mammogram and the biopsy that followed showed abnormal results, indicating breast cancer, I was told by my ob-gyn, “This is the best type of cancer to have.”I was then referred to a surgeon and decided to move forward with a bilateral mastectomy.
The CT scan I got as part of that process revealed something suspicious on my sternum, so many more tests, biopsies, and scans followed.
“The best type of cancer to have,” my oncologist would eventually tell me, was actually HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
The cancer had already spread—I had an “innumerable” amount of metastases in my skeleton, mostly in my spine, and some in my ovaries—and it was incurable.
Surgery was no longer an option.My head was spinning.
