Cancer Car Chat: Episode 4 – When You Hear “You Have Cancer”

There are some words that divide your life into a before and an after.

“You have cancer.”

When you hear those words, time stops. At least it did for me.

Your mind starts racing. What does this mean? What’s next? What about my family? What about my future?

My biggest advice for those first days is to FIND YOUR PEOPLE.

Find the friends and family who will listen to you, cry with you, read with you, encourage you, and simply be there.

You don’t need 50 people. You need a few good people you can count on.

Let them help you. Let someone bring you a meal. Let someone sit with you. Let someone go to an appointment with you.

You don’t have to be strong every minute.

I also highly recommend journaling. Write down your symptoms, your emotions, your questions, and what happened that day.

Because when you’re in the middle of it, time can feel like it’s barely moving. But when you look back at what you wrote days, weeks, or months ago, you can see just how far you’ve come.

And remember: EVERYONE’S CANCER JOURNEY IS DIFFERENT.

I found out at the end of April, and I’m choosing to talk about my experience because sharing my story has become part of my healing journey.

But not everyone is ready to share.

Some people need to talk. Some need to process quietly. Some aren’t ready yet.

And that’s okay.

There is no right way to respond to a cancer diagnosis.

Give yourself permission to feel whatever you’re feeling and take it one day at a time.

If you’re walking through this right now, please know:

You don’t have to walk it alone. 💗

Next episode: One of the hardest parts of our journey so far — telling our children that Mom has cancer.

How do you tell your kids? What do you say? What do you leave out? And how do you protect them while still being honest?

I’ll see you in the next Cancer Car Chat.

Cancer Car Chat: Episode 3 – What Is a Stereotactic Breast Biopsy?

After my mammogram and additional imaging, the next step was a stereotactic breast biopsy.

When it was time to schedule, I was offered a few different locations. The breast center where I usually went in Dublin had a backorder on the biopsy needles, which meant I’d have to wait longer for my procedure.

I didn’t want to wait.

So I chose to have my biopsy done at Grant.

One difference between the two locations was the biopsy table. At Grant, I was able to sit upright for the procedure. The machine in Dublin would have required me to lie face down (prone). My nurse navigator shared that many patients find the upright position to be a little more comfortable, and I was grateful that was an option.

So what is a stereotactic breast biopsy?

It’s a procedure that’s used when an area of concern shows up on a mammogram but can’t easily be felt. Using mammogram images, the radiologist precisely guides a biopsy needle to the area and removes a few tiny tissue samples to send to pathology.

The procedure itself was much easier than I expected.

They numbed the area with local anesthetic, so I mostly felt pressure rather than pain. The team talked me through every step, and before I knew it, it was over.

Recovery was surprisingly easy.

I had some bruising and soreness at the biopsy site, but Tylenol, ice, and a supportive, compressive bra were all I needed. Within a few days, I was feeling pretty normal again.

If you’re facing a stereotactic breast biopsy, I hope this eases some of your anxiety. The waiting for results was much harder than the biopsy itself.

I’ll see you in the next Cancer Car Chat. 💗

Rarely do I get the chance to slow down and truly enjoy our local Plain City Farmers Market but after taking the last few weeks off to recover from surgery, the girls and I walked uptown tonight to check out the new location (142 Church Street) and visit some of our favorite vendors.

We picked up dog treats for Penny from Brothers for Life Dog & Cat Treats, fresh strawberry jam, zucchini for zucchini bread, and the famous garlic pickles from Week’s Farm. We also couldn’t resist ice cream from Miller’s and warm, soft-baked pretzels from Brothers Pretzel Haus.

We made sure to stop by and say hello to our friends at The Friendly Sweet Shop, too. ❤️

Small-town living is definitely our style. I love supporting the other local vendors and small businesses that make our community so special, and I’m excited to be back sharing our own baked goods next Thursday!

As an added bonus, the splash pad will be open next week! Bring your kids, bring your family, grab dinner, cool off at the splash pad, and spend the evening supporting local businesses. There’s no better way to spend a summer evening. 🌞🛍️🍦
