First Day

So today is our first day of the fight. We found out today that Michelle has breast cancer. She has only had a diagnostic Mammogram and a biopsy at this point. They found cancer in her right breast and in one of her lymph nodes.

We are going for more CT scans tomorrow and a full bone scan.

Yes we are scared, but so far we hear that the prognosis is good. The type of cancer she has is receptive to treatment.

We talked about creating this blog so our loved ones and friends have a place to go to see updates and make any comments they feel they want.

We have already received a ton of support from everyone and really appreciate it.

So you are probably wondering how are we doing? Well, we're scared, but managing. We don't have enough information yet to know if it is widespread. We haven't told the girls anything yet, but plan to look to some cancer organizations to help us learn the best way to tell them. Right now we want to try to keep there lives as normal as possible.

We will beat this. I say we because even though Michelle has the disease we are in this together. There may be times that you hear us rant, or rather me rant, but I feel this avenue gives me a place to do that.

Off to bed now. Big day tomorrow.
