I finally got the results of my breast biopsy and I talk about it in this episode. I waited almost 2 weeks, and at times it was very difficult. At some point before getting the results, I experienced a deep sense of acceptance, in terms of how I would cope with the results.

At the moment when my stress dissipated, I felt a full acceptance of this entire breast cancer experience and I realized I can get through whatever it is that's going to be happening, just like I did when first diagnosed, 2 1/2 years ago.

I also talk about the importance of me doing the work now to make a decision about a mastectomy on the right, because what I really want do is prevent a future invasive cancer and I know that I'm high risk for that happening again.
