I sent this email to my brother, sister and dad, I managed to avoid the C word:
I'm going to be having same-day surgery on Thursday. I have a lump in my breast that needs to be removed. I won't know until after the surgery if it has gotton into my lymph nodes (which means it might have spread). I'm going to take a week off from work since I have so much vacation time. They said I may feel ok after a couple of days.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 12/04. I did lots of chemo to prevent it's return. In 6/06 I was told that I had a new primary tumor. I was tested and found out that I was BRCA 1+. I had surgery and did more preventative chemo that ended in 1/07. In 2/07 I was told that I had lung mets. At this time my cancer seems to be chemo resistant. I had a Stem Cell Transplant through a clinical trial in 8/07. I had some liver mets show up in 2/08.
